Roughly 1,970 bird species live in Colombia, the largest number of any country in the world — with at least six new species discovered in the last decade, according to the Colombian Committee of Ornithological Registry. The country is also home to some 80 native species of birds found nowhere else on earth. With remote corners of the country now accessible, birders are looking forward to what they may find in formerly forbidden places.
