We present a list of the species of birds that have been recorded in La Libertad Region, a highly diverse semi-arid region located in northwestern Peru. Records are based on field observations, literature research, and databases of scientific collections. We recorded a total of 484 species in this region. These include 45 endangered species, and 42 species endemic to Peru. This list is intended as a guide for future programs of management and conservation of biodiversity in the region.
