Abstract
The Laguna del Caney in the Municipality of Chinácota, Norte de Santander, Colombia, is a place frequently visited by different species of birds, especially some ducks and herons. It’s due the birds find food and a place to rest and reproduce. However, the community of birds that visit this lagoon is unknown. Thus, both bird diversity and its community structure were determined through a rapid sampling of direct observation. The specific diversity of bird species was obtained, this was 19, which are grouped into 9 orders and 13 families. The most common species was Dendrocygna autumnalis (38%), followed by Jacana jacana (17%) andColumbina talpacoti (10%). In addition, the Shannon diversity was found to be 8.59, and the Simpson diversity was 5.11. Also, for the first time, the duck species Anas andium (3%) is reported in a lagoon located at an altitude of 1000 m.a.s.l. In Colombia. Currently, the factors that may be influenced the behavior of the species are unknown, so this work opens the door to new ecological research on this species of waterfowl.
