From the 10th to the 14th of January 1968, 117 species and subspecies of birds, pertaining to 39 families were observed and 529 specimens collected in the Serranía de Macuira of the upper Guajira. One species and two subspecies are recorded for the first time from Colombia, and Dendroica townsendi reported as a new record for South America. Several other birds, seldom collected in Colombia were also found. This is the first detailed report on the avifauna of this highly interesting area.
