The Birds of Bolivia
There is no doubt that some of the greatest avifauna of the Neotropics are found in Bolivia. This beautiful and rugged country is home to no less than 1,379 bird species (SACC 2009), placing Bolivia just behind Colombia, Peru and Brazil in terms of avian diversity. There are only a few publications that fully cover these magnificent birds. Among the most prominent are “The Birds of Bolivia” 1943 by James Bond & R. Meyer de Schauensee; “Aves de Bolivia” 1985 by Noel Kempff Mercado; “Birds of Bolivia: Sounds and Photographs” 2000, by Sjoerd Mayer and “

Some of the groups such as the Highland Motmot (M. m. aequatorialis), had previously attained the status of species, but were ultimately grouped as a subspecies of M. momota by the South American Classification Commit
