This paper contributes to the growing body of literature on the reproductive biology of South American birds by providing 823 records of reproduction for 197 species breeding within the Tumbesian biome of Peru and Ecuador. Where applicable, we include notes on adult behaviour, nest architecture, eggs, nestlings, and fledglings. In general, our observations support previous reports of the seasonal nature of avian reproduction in the region.
