Description :
Waghala is considered to be one of the biodiversity rich areas of storks in Gadchiroli in Maharashtra. It possesses great diversity of flora and fauna. In the present observation, birds were identified and recorded for community structure and diversity. But the conservation efforts are limited due to lack of documentation and studies on this area. This study was designed not only to document species richness of this small area but also to find out distribution patterns of these birds along various microhabitats along the Waghala. The variation in species richness and relative abundance of avifauna is associated with crop stages.
