Migration is one of the most conspicuous animal behaviors in nature and the best example of this phenomenon is associated with a large number of species that move synchronously over great distances during a specific time of year and make the return journey. a period of time later (Boyle, 2006). In no other group than that of birds has such behavior been so recognized and documented. In this sense, the ecological and conservation implications generated by the migration of numerous species of this group are becoming better known in La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia, and the research has also focused on answering questions related to the exhibited migration patterns and explain how such processes operate at physiological and genetic levels (Boyle, 2006). This diagnosis presents those species of birds with migratory behaviors that maintain populations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia, at some point in their life cycle, as well as information related to their distribution, the routes and predominant types of migration, their conservation status and the measures that support their protection.
