In recent months, La Sabana Metropolitan Park turned into a house for 11 new, bird species.
The arrival of these birds would be related to the park reforestation project that aims to convert the capital lung into the ideal ecosystem for native species.
The 11 species are:
-The yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus)
-The green-breasted mango (Anthracothorax prevostii)
-The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris)
-The southern beardless tyrannulet (Camptostoma obsoletum)
-The yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata)
-The yellow-browed woodpecker (Piculus aurulentus)
-The yellow-naped parrot (Amazona auropalliata)
-The olive-sided flycatcher (Contopus cooperi)
-The tityra (Tityridae)
-The great kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus)
-The tropical mockingbird (Mimus gilvus)
These species stand out as being unusual in the Central Valley, for their distribution and conservation status in the country, as these migratory species are considered to be rare.
The reforestation project ended its sixth year of intervention. During this period, 454 trees were planted in 5 voluntary days, for a total of 3,791 trees from 2011 to date.
