Libro rojo de aves de Colombia
En los últimos años, se ha avanzado considerablemente en el conocimiento de la distribución de las especies de aves en Colombia; sin embargo, una muy buena parte de la información sobre la avifauna colombiana se encuentra dispersa en libros, artículos científicos, informes y literatura gris, observaciones personales no publicadas, así como en colecciones públicas y privadas. Estos registros, junto con las capas de información climática, fueron la base con la cual se desarrollaron los modelos de distribución de las especies en los cuales se apoya esta obra.
Who's Who Among Hispanic Americans

Endemic Bird Areas of the World
More than a quarter of bird species are concentrated in areas that together make up just one per cent of the earth's land surface. These restricted range species include almost three-quarters of all threatened birds. BirdLife International has identified 218 Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs), which hold at least two restricted range species, although some support more than 60. EBAs provide a reasonable overlap with the biodiversity hotspots identified by other conservation organisations, and are a focus for conservation action. At the heart of this book are descriptions of all 218 EBAs, including key habitats, major threats and conservation initiatives and a detailed map. Tables list the restricted-...
A Guide to the Birds of Colombia
Describing all of Colombia's birds, Steven Hilty and William Brown bring together information on one of the world's largest avifaunas-nearly 1,700 species. Over half of all the species of birds in South America are included, thus making the book useful in regions adjacent to Colombia, as well as in the country itself. The primary purpose of the work is to enable observers to identify the birds of the region, but it also provides detailed species accounts and will serve as an important handbook and reference volume. Fifty-six lavish color plates, thirteen halftone plates, and ninety-nine line drawings in the text illustrate over 85% of the species, including most of the resident birds. Notes ...
