Abstract

The present study covers the avifaunal diversity documented in the year 2015 to 2018 from the temporary academic block (TAB), Shahpur campus, Central University of Himachal Pradesh, India. Direct observation was made to document avifaunal diversity to prepare first checklist of avifaunal diversity. A total of 114 bird species belonging to 12 orders and 42 families were recorded from the campus and the surrounding area. The diversity pattern and the species abundance represent the effect of regional microclimate and vegetation association. The few encounters of the large frugivorous species near build environment indicate extinction from habitat degradation in the surrounding area. The presence of some specialized species in the particular habitat can be correlated with floral assemblage and the microhabitat of the area.
