| Abstract | The dearth of studies focusing on the avifauna of the Rio Grande do Norte State contrasts with the importance of some areas, such as the Serido region, considered priority region for bird conservation based mainly on the presence of endemic species, the degree of conservation of the area and the level of threat to birds. In this context, an inventory of the avifauna in the western Serido region, complemented by other studies in the region. Field works were undertaken during the period December 2009 to July 2012, totaling 107 days that included both the dry and rainy seasons. The surveys included direct observation through an active search, using binoculars, photographic records, the identification of vocalizations and, review of the previous inventories. Were 178 species of wild birds recorded this area. Of the 52 families reported, Tyrannidae was the best represented, with 23 species. It should be noted the record of two species (Rhea Americana Linnaeus, 1758 and Picumnus fulvenscens Stager, 1961) considered near threatened with extinction according to International Union for Conservation of Nature. The expressive richness of birds species reported from the Serido region, the degradation of its habitats, and the use of the birds in human cynegetic activities reinforce the importance of undertaking additional avifaunal studies and proposing conservation strategies in this region. RESUMO. A carencia de estudos avifaunisticos no estado do Rio Grande do Norte contrasta com a importância de algumas areas, como a regiao Serido, considerada prioritaria para conservacao de aves com base, principalmente, na presenca de especies endemicas, no grau de conservacao da area e no nivel de ameaca as aves. Neste contexto, foi realizado um inventario da avifauna na regiao Serido Ocidental, complementado com outros estudos na regiao. As amostragens foram realizadas durante o periodo de dezembro de 2009 a julho de 2012, totalizando 107 dias incluindo os periodos seco e chuvoso. A amostragem incluiu observacoes diretas atraves de busca ativa com o auxilio de binoculo, registros fotograficos, identificacao de vocalizacoes e revisao de inventarios previos. Registraram-se ao todo 178 especies de aves nesta area. Das 52 familias registradas, Tyrannidae foi a mais representativa, com 23 especies. Ressalta-se o registro de duas especies (Rhea americana Linnaeus, 1758 e Picumnus fulvenscens Stager, 1961) consideradas quase ameacadas de extincao de acordo com a Uniao Internacional para Conservacao da Natureza. A expressiva riqueza de especies de aves registradas na regiao Serido, a degradacao dos habitats e o uso de aves em atividades cinegeticas reforcam a necessidade de realizacao de mais estudos avifaunisticos e a proposicao de estrategias para conservacao nesta regiao.
