Abstract
The diversity of birds in the Las Quinchas mountain range amounted to 374 taxa in 2007, most of them distributed in the tropical region of the massif. We made five sampling trips between March and October 2019 to different locations in the Tropical and Sub-Andean regions of Las Quinchas, we added 11 species increasing in 3% the avian richness of the mountains. The 383 species are distributed in 55 families and 22 orders. One species is categorized as Critically Endangered and four are the Vulnerable. There was greater species richness in the upper part of the mountains and low turnover between altitude ranges.
