The biological monitoring of Cerro del Águila Hydroelectric Plant was developed as part of the commitments assumed in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which was approved through the Directorial Resolution No. 049-2013-MEM/AAE in August of 2013. The study area is located in Colcabamba and Surcubamba districts, Tayacaja province, Huancavelica department, corresponding to the Mantaro River Valley. Fieldwork was carried out between 2013 and 2016, during the wet and dry seasons of each year. As a result of this study, three species report extensions in their ranges of distribution: the White-Ear Buco (Nystalus chacuru), the Pearl Belly-Tyrant-Todi (Hemitriccus margaritaceiventer) and the Red-crested Finch (Coryphospingus cucullatus). These are species whose records in this area show variations in frequency and abundance between seasons and type of vegetation, possible related to the construction phase of the project.).

Keywords : extension; distribution; range; birds; Huancavelica.
