Ortalis erythroptera

NOTES

There are three records in DatAves from Choco and Antioquia, all corrupted information since this chachalaca just has been recorded nearby San Isidro close to the rio Mira in extreme southwestern Nariño by R. Strewe (Renjifo et al., 2015). We do not know of any other records. However, the map depicted by BirdLife International (2015) shows a zone of about 700 km2 some 25 km SEE from the actual point locality reported in Renjifo et al. (2002).

To elaborate a model of the potential distribution of this species we used the point locality reported by Renjifo et al. (2002) and the approximate geographical centre of the area depicted by BirdLife International (2015). The model obtained predicted a few pockets suitable in climatic terms for this chachalaca in the Caribbean coast; these areas are clearly not likely to be occupied by this species and were deleted from our final potential distribution map. This model is relatively limited because of the small amount of information used to produce it. Nevertheless, it shows a first approximation of the potential areas where this chachalaca may continue expanding its range into Colombia. In Ecuador and Peru this species reaches the slopes of the Andes, which suggests that if it continues expanding its range in Colombia it may spread further to the east from the areas in our model towards the Andes.
