A total of 48 bird species was recorded in the 41 genera, 30 families distributed among nine orders. Of these, six water bird species included in three families under two orders and 42 terrestrial bird species confirmed to 27 families distributed among seven orders were recorded during the study period (June, 2016 to May, 2017). The highest number of species composition was observed to be order Passeriformes (62.50%) and followed by orders: Ciconiiformes (10.42%), Coraciiformes (8.34%), Cuculiformes (6.25%), Strigiformes (4.17%), Anseriformes (2.08%), Pelecaniformes (2.08%), Falconiformes (2.08%) and Psittaciformes (2.08%).
