description The Laguna del Caney in the Municipality of Chinácota, Norte de Santander, Colombia, is a place frequently visited by different species of birds, especially some ducks and herons. It’s due the birds find food and a place to rest and reproduce. However, the community of birds that visit this lagoon is unknown. Thus, both bird diversity and its community structure were determined through a rapid sampling of direct observation. The specific diversity of bird species was obtained, this was 19, which are grouped into 9 orders and 13 families. The most common species was Dendrocygna autumnalis (38%), followed by Jacana jacana (17%) andColumbina talpacoti (10%). In addition, the Shannon diversity was found to be 8.59, and the Simpson diversity was 5.11. Also, for the first time, the duck species Anas andium (3%) is reported in a lagoon located at an altitude of 1000 m.a.s.l. In Colombia. Currently, the factors that may be influenced the behavior of the species are unknown, so this work opens the door to new ecological research on this species of waterfowl.

La Laguna del Caney del Municipio de Chinácota, Norte de Santander, Colombia, es un lugar muy visitado por distintas especies de aves, en especial por algunos patos y garzas. Esto se debe a que las aves encuentran alimento, y un lugar de descanso y reproducción. Sin embargo, se desconoce la comunidad de aves que visitan esta laguna, por tal razón, se determinó la diversidad y la estructurara de la comunidad de aves presentes en esta laguna, mediante un muestreo rápido de observación directa. Se obtuvo que la diversidad específica de especies de aves fue de 19, las cuales se agruparon en 9 órdenes y 13 familias. La especie más común fue Dendrocygna autumnalis (38 %), seguido de Jacana jacana (17 %) y Columbina talpacoti (10 %). Además, se obtuvo que la diversidad de Shannon fue de 8,59, y la de Simpson de 5,11. También, se reporta por primera vez la especie de pato Anas andium (3%) en una laguna ubicada en una altitud de 1000 m.s.n.m. en Colombia. Actualmente, se desconocen los factores que podrían estar influyendo en el comportamiento de la especie, de tal forma, este trabajo abre las puertas a nuevas investigaciones de ecología sobre esta especie de ave acuática.
