Abstract

An inventory of birds was performed at Hoyo de Pelempito, Sierra de Bahoruco. A total of 991 individuals, 41 species and 17 families of birds were recorded by using points count. Nine species are migratory, 13 endemic, 18 residents and two introduced. Six species are considered threatened; such as the Hispaniolan Parrot (Amazona ventralis) and Hispaniolan Parakeet (Psittacara chloroptera). Insectivorous and omnivores birds were the most abundant, while granivorous, nectarivores, carnivores and frugivorous occurred in a lesser extent.
