Abstract
Se registra la anidación de aves acuáticas en la Ensenada de La Paz, de 1992 a 1994. Se contabilizaron 13 especies anidantes: Ardea herodias, Bubulcus ibis, Egretta rufescens, E. thula, E. tricolor, E. caerulea, Nyctanassa violacea, Nycticorax nycticorax, Eudocimus albus, Butorides striatus, Rallus limicola, Charardius wilsonia y Sterna antillarum. Los lugares más importantes para la anidación fueron los manglares El Conchalito y CETMAR, donde se registraron 11 especies. Se observó una disminución paulatina del número de nidos de varias especies.
