Abstract

During present study, the Mula-Mutha Riverine system (Station- 1) and Kavadigaon wetland (Station- 2) were considered for the study of Avifauna. A total of 30 species belonging to 12 families and 8 genera were reported. Riverine threats ultimately lead to a decrease in the number of birds in that specific area.
