In Mexico, coastal habitats are being modified due to anthropogenic activities (agriculture and livestock), affecting birds, changing its richness and diversity as well as reducing the population size of some species. In this study we analyzed the richness and diversity of birds in fragmented coastal landscape Tampamachoco, Tuxpan, Veracruz. Fieldwork was conducted from January 2012 to January 2013. Using linear paths, there were a total of 125 species in 42 families (87 residents, 37 migrants and introduced). The diversity and species richness was highly significant in the tropical forest (H '3.86, 77 species, ANOVA p = <0.001). Regarding monthly diversity and richness December was the most significant (H '3.7, 60 species, ANOVA p = <0.001). Were determined differences in species abundance. According to the estimates of species richness, the Chao2 estimator for the coastal zone could be recorded 148 species, with Jack1 154 and Jack2 167. We recorded 33 species not previously observed in the Tampamachoco. The protection of natural and modified coastal habitats is necessary because host a great richness and biological diversity of this group.
