Abstract

Out of  167 species of birds belonging to 45 families preferred Water Edge (59 species ), Cultivation (57 species), Forest Edge  (47 species ), Forest (45 species), Open Water (24 species), Human Habitation  (12 species), Reeds along & in their reservoir (12 species ), Water Holes (07 species), Forest Floor (06 species) , Rocky Hill (03 species), Floating vegetation (2 species) and  Rocks  (01 species) as habitat domain in the selected study area of  Navegaon National Park, Maharashtra throughout the study period of four years from January  2010 to December 2013.  The habitat preferences of these 167 species indicate that they occupy a range of habitats, from dry deciduous forest patch to all these habitats, but in different proportions. Such representation of data would prove very helpful to analyze population changes over the years which is one of the prerequisites for any conservation effort in the selected study areas.

Keywords:  avifauna, analysis of population changes, further research, habitat domain, Navegaon National Park.
