From the author: We recorded 181 avian species at the Paraguayan Cerrado site, Parque Nacional Serrania San Luis, depto. Concepcion, including the first record of Veery (Catharus fuscescens) for the country. We obtained further evidence of hybridization between White-bellied (Basileuterus hypoleucus) and Golden-crowned (B. culicivorus) warblers. Our results combined with those of earlier workers document a total of 219 species for this area. Pronounced differences in species composition exist between San Luis and a nearby Cerrado locality. Three threatened and four near-threatened species were recorded at San Luis. Since our inventory the area that we worked was traded for an adjacent, less human impacted sector of similar size. The new park boundary contains relatively pristine campo (grassland), which is an important habitat for a number of resident and migrant species suspected to be suffering serious population declines.
