This new checklist includes the scientific names of all the species of birds occurring in Colombia, with notes on their status in the country accurate as of December 2014.

Consulting upon and updating the list of birds of Colombia is relevant to conservation, involving contributions from the scientific and ornithological communities and enthusiastic birdwatchers.  It is important to have an accurate understanding of Colombia’s national avifauna in order to formulate conservation plans and save the last remaining habitats for nationally or globally threatened species.
