Abstract

A field survey was carried out in the Jojari River, a wastewater wetland in Jodhpur city of Rajasthan state for a period from December 2015 and February 2016 with the objective of documenting avifaunal diversity of the wastewater wetland. A total of 40 species of birds belonging to 11 orders under 17 families have been recorded. Most of the birds recorded were winter migrants and some of them belonging to the threatened categories deserve better protection.
