    This document summarizes research on aquatic birds in the Llanos region of Venezuela. It finds that over 1,700 records and 68,000 individual birds of 97 species and 21 families have been documented in the region. The most common families are Scolopacidae, which make up 65.2% of individuals, and Ardeidae, which represent 55.3% of abundance. While 62.98% of aquatic bird species in the region are residents, some key species are threatened, including the Sarkidiornis sylvicola. The document recommends addressing information gaps through expanded monitoring, recovering historic banding programs, and increased research on migration patterns and conservation needs.
