Keywords:
Mandwa lake, Avifaunal diversity.Abstract
Birds are of great economic importance of the man and they play an important role in controlling population of different pests. Birds are scavengers and pollinating agents and also help’s in dispersal of seeds and also birds are provided rich food for mankind and are known to man since ages. Salim Ali, laid the foundation of economic ornithology. Birds are very significant component of biodiversity and are the most important indicators the balanced and living ecosystem. Population of birds in a particular ecosystem is depending on the composition of the ecosystem, environmental condition and seasonal variation. The present investigation was carried out to the avifaunal and around the Mandwa Lake near Dharni (Melghat) Tahsil was studied from Jan 2019 to Dec 2019 during total 71 species of birds were recorded from 15 different orders and 33 families among which 53 were resident, 9 were resident migrant and 9 were winter visitor.
