Abstract
In the hitherto study three Wetlands have been selected to study the
diversity and density of avifauna because all the three study areas are away
from each other and exhibit dissimilarity in their habitat structure.
Ankasamudra study area occupies first place in accommodating 173 species under
62 families of 20 orders followed by Bannigola back waters area of T.B. Dam
with 141 species, 59 families, 21 orders where as another study area Magadi
lake recorded 100 species, 45 families, and 19 orders. It clearly indicates
that the study area Ankasamudra harbored highly diversified and densed avian
population due to food, water and vast space for roosting and nesting by having
hundreds of Acasia tress in it, rather than the remaining two study
areas. Hence Ankasamudra is emerged as a most promising destiny for both
resident and migrant avian species.
