Abstract:

Birds are highly conspicuous species of the environmental ecosystem. Birds can control the pest and uphold the diversity of other organisms also they are the effective bioindicators of physiochemical properties of water. Present study was carried out from July- 2023 to June-2024. To assess bird diversity, the point-count and line transect methods was used but opportunistic spotting was also included. A total of 47 avian species belongs to 37 genera, 12 families and 8 orders were recorded. Anseriformes order was most dominant with 15 species followed by other order. Family Anatidae was the most dominant, representing 15 species of the total species recorded. Among the reported species 12 were residential while 23 were migrant and 12 species are residential migrants. The rich avifaunal diversity of the Tekanpur Lake confirms it as a suitable habitat for both residential and migrant bird species. Hence, the present study helps to assess the diversity and present status of aquatic avifauna in Tekanpur lake for conservation and management of the lake.
