This initiative was born from the need to establish an official national platform that rigorously and continuously documents the list of bird species recorded in Cuba. Beyond compiling species records, it also incorporates specialized comments on the most recent changes in nomenclature, systematics, and taxonomy, as well as new additions and key clarifications within Cuban ornithology.<\/p>\n

The lists are published annually, generally between January and February, through Ediciones Nuevos Mundos, reflecting the latest advances in the field. Each edition includes an introduction explaining the categories used, followed by a main table containing all species that make up the Cuban avifauna. The publication is further complemented by tables of unconfirmed or escaped species, as well as a list of fossil birds corresponding to the Pleistocene\u2013Holocene period.<\/p>\n

The core of the work lies in its commentary sections, where the scientific basis supporting each taxonomic change or new addition is presented, together with relevant observations for researchers and bird enthusiasts. In addition, a summary table with numerical indicators of interest is included to facilitate analysis and consultation.<\/p>\n

Designed under a practical and accessible approach, the publication adopts a print-on-demand format<\/em>It also stands out for its unique covers, illustrated with photographs contributed by invited Cuban authors, while the back cover (redesigned in 2026, see below) features a map of Cuba highlighting key birdwatching sites along with illustrated endemic species<\/p>\n

The digital version is offered free of charge in PDF format and is also available in print through Amazon KDP.<\/p>\n

This project forms part of the broader process of developing a new field guide to the birds of Cuba and generally requires between two and three months of continuous work.<\/p>\n

The project is carried out thanks to the support of Ediciones Nuevos Mundos, Caribbean Conservation Trust, and BirdsCaribbean.<\/p>\n

Esta propuesta nace de la necesidad de contar con una plataforma oficial a nivel nacional que documente de manera rigurosa y actualizada la lista de las aves registradas en Cuba. Adem\u00e1s de compilar las especies, incorpora comentarios especializados sobre los cambios m\u00e1s recientes en nomenclatura, sistem\u00e1tica y taxonom\u00eda, as\u00ed como nuevas adiciones y aclaraciones clave dentro de la ornitolog\u00eda cubana. Las listas se publican con car\u00e1cter anual, generalmente entre enero y febrero, a trav\u00e9s de la Editorial Nuevos Mundos, reflejando los avances m\u00e1s recientes en la disciplina. Cada edici\u00f3n incluye una introducci\u00f3n donde se explican las categor\u00edas utilizadas, seguida de una tabla principal con todas las especies que conforman la avifauna cubana. El contenido se complementa con tablas de especies no confirmadas o escapadas, as\u00ed como un listado de aves f\u00f3siles correspondientes al per\u00edodo Pleistoceno-Holoceno. El n\u00facleo de la obra reside en sus comentarios, donde se exponen los fundamentos cient\u00edficos que respaldan cada cambio o nueva incorporaci\u00f3n, junto a observaciones relevantes para investigadores y aficionados. Asimismo, se incluye una tabla resumen con indicadores num\u00e9ricos de inter\u00e9s que facilitan el an\u00e1lisis y la consulta.   Concebida bajo un enfoque pr\u00e1ctico y de acceso inmediato, la publicaci\u00f3n adopta el formato print on demand, lo que permite su actualizaci\u00f3n constante. Destaca tambi\u00e9n por sus portadas \u00fanicas, ilustradas con fotograf\u00edas de autores cubanos invitados, mientras que la contraportada (renovada en 2026) presenta un mapa de Cuba con sitios clave para la observaci\u00f3n de aves y una selecci\u00f3n ilustrada de especies end\u00e9micas.         La versi\u00f3n digital se ofrece de forma gratuita en formato PDF, y tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 disponible en formato impreso a trav\u00e9s de Amazon KDP. Este proyecto forma parte del proceso de creaci\u00f3n de una nueva gu\u00eda de las aves de Cuba y requiere, por lo general, entre dos y tres meses de trabajo continuo.
