Abstract:

We present bio-ecological investigation of bird fauna of Ayubia National Park covering the seasonal abundance and current status based on censuses carried out from 1997 to 2000. Study covers variable aspects such as population abundance, species richness, migrant and resident species and breeding records. We also report monthly counts which estimate the seasonal pattern of occurrence of species. The study recorded a total 154 bird species using this moist-temperate western Himalayan fairly dense forested landscape, including definitely a new record of Collared Flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis) for the country based on a single sighting during the summer season and the rediscovery with a pair of Green Shrike Babbler (Pteruthias xanthochloris) after a century back.
