Bird guide reveals urban area in Cotopaxi province teeming with diverse species.
The goal of the research was to create a bird guide for the urban area of Pujili Canton, Cotopaxi province. The researchers studied the bird species in the area and found 20 different species, with the Thraupidae family being the most common. They divided the area into three zones and used various techniques to count the birds. The study showed that Zone 2 and Zone 3 have a high similarity in bird species. The overall diversity of birds in the urban area was found to be medium. The researchers created a bird guide with photos and descriptions of the species to help people identify them.
