Abstract

The variation in bird variety over geography and time is a common indicator for assessing environmental changes. Traditionally, such data was gathered by experienced observers, but passively collect acoustic data is quickly developing as a viable alternative survey technique. Now-a-days, avifaunal diversity has been decline due to the demolition of natural habitation. The aim of the study to identify avifaunal diversity of Rawanwadi reservoir, Rawamwadi District Bhandara, investigation period was from month of November 2020 to October 2022, in and around of Rawanwadi Reservoir. In the present investigation, a total of 39 species of birds were spotted during the current inquiry near the Rawanwadi reservoir. Based on their habitat, such as Residential Common, Winter Visitor, and Uncommon, the birds were divided into different groups. The Avifaunal diversity have been categories in diverse group’s position on their regular migratory habitat residential are as migratory winter traveler, internal migratory visitor, external migratory visitors and external emigratory visitors.
