Abstract

The Pixve coast is characterized because it has strong pendants and many rivers that it comes from the mountain and it waters flow into the mangrove, very productive and diverse ecosystems, which makes the site an ideal place for studies the diversities of the birds. Between December 2019 and March 2020, avifaunics inventories were made, with the aim of documenting the diversity of birds present in the mangrove and how their conserve there. The methods included count points in three types of habitats (river edge, interior of the mangrove and estuary), in addition to the use of ornithological nets. Nine hundred twenty-six sightings were recorded, corresponding to 40 species, twenty-six families and thirteen orders, with Coragyps atratus Quiscalus mexicamusActitis macularius, and Bubulcus ibis being the most abundant species. The diversity of birds was high, which indicates that the mangrove serves as a habitat for many species. The estuary site was the most diverse, with the muddy coast being the main habitat that offered food and space to walk
