Mining has been one of the main drivers of growth in Peru with approximately 10% of the gross national product. Regardless, this activity has significant environmental impacts on biodiversity and its components, mainly flora and fauna, that must be continuously assessed as part of the environmental commitments. In this context, environmental impact assessments and similar management instruments are developed, and ought to be approved by Peruvian environmental authorities. The information presented in these environmental management instruments is gathered in biological evaluations of the flora and fauna that inhabits a certain area in which the application of appropriate methodologies is required. In these assessments, birds are one of the most relevant groups, with high species richness and density compared to other vertebrates and monitoring them might help us elucidate how biodiversity varies in time and space (Carignan & Villard, 2002). The scope of this work is to characterize the bird communities of two types of forest within mining units in the north of Peru: the seasonally dry forest of Piura and the cloud forest of Cajamarca. Data analysis allowed to determine that the area sampled in the seasonally dry forest holds a particular diversity and bird community composition and structure, strongly influenced by El Niño Southern Oscillation, and that support 27 species of conservation concern (40% of the total registered), and four (04) habitat quality indicator species, including the dry forest specialist, the Peruvian Plantcutter, Phytotoma raimondii. Similarly, the sampled area in the cloud forest presents a typical bird assemblage for this type of forest, and that manifest possible effects of the wildfires occurred on November 2016; 24 species of conservation concern were recorded in the area (30% of the total), and five (05) habitat quality indicator species.
