Endemic Colombian Chacalaca -EXPLORED 25/92/2019-
Ortalis columbiana (Colombian Chacalaca / Guacharaca)
La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Endemic to Colombia, as its name would suggest, and the only chachalaca within its now relatively limited range in the central (Cauca and Magdalena) valleys of the country. It is found in both humid and deciduous forests, but the species’ range and population are both almost certainly declining, and it survives only in pockets.
