Introduction: Ourobsevations: The bird population is an indication of environmental changes as they respond fast to threats and changing environment conditions (Barov, 2011). The bioindicators of a different kind of environments like urbanization and industrialization disturb the avian habitats (Mohan & Gaur, 2008, Gupta & Singh, 2003). India accounts for 12 percent of the total number of bird species in the world, amounting to 10,135, among the 1306 species. Taxonomically, the bird population in the country is divided into 26 orders, 111 families, and 492 genera. Of these 72 species are endemic to India, constituting about 5.5% of thecountry’s bird diversity (Praveen ., 2018). We tabulated the bird diversity in SFRTI campus which provide a well-organized niche for almost every kind of birds. There is no previous is available in such an organized undisturbed niche of Raipur like SFRTI. The place is spread over 63 ha area, and about 5 ha of the area is spaced forartif icial seasonal wetland and rest of the area is planted by different experimental plots of trees like and etc. Teak ( ) is the dominant species of campus. We tabulated birds in between Jan. 2013 to Dec. 2016 by direct visual count. The Observations were made in the morning between 6:00 to 9:00 am and evening between 5:00 to 6:30 pm. Birds were sighted using binocular (8×40) and Canon 550D camera with 75-300 mm lens on the spot identif ication using f ield guide Grimmet 2013. Breeding birds' nest were also considered in our study area and subsequently, this information was used to establish the status of resident species of the area. Finally, the relative percentages of the number of species to the respective familywere calculated. During the study period et al Acacia nilotica, Acacia catechu, Azadirachta indica, Phyllanthus emblica, Dalbergia sissoo, Terminalia arjuna, Bamboosa species,Santalum album, Eucalyptus species, Cleistanthus collinus Tectona grandis Tectona grandis et. al *Corresponding Author: ISSN- 2348 5191 (Print) & 2348 8980 (Electronic) of 2013 and 2014, our wetland site was surrounded by tall grasses and other shrub species which provided a protection boundary to wetland the human disturbance was also negligible there. But in the year 2015 the wetland area was reconstructed so due to heavy machine operation and their sound most of the species which were coming regularly during Monsoon season for breeding like Black Crown night heron ( ), Lesser whistling duck ( ), & Purple heron ( ) etc. not visited in study site and unfortunately in the same year rainfall was also low. Further, the surrounding areas of the newly built wetland cleaned by creating the ground f ire which also decreased the population of apparent birds. In the following year 2016, the rainfall was satisfactory as compared to its preceding year which ultimately increased the occurrencesof monsoon population of birds from 58 to 90. The avian diversity could be regained by taking proper measures around the wetland (Chandra , 2014). From a conservation point of view, till date, the urban biodiversity for avian species has been given very little attention as compared to the natural and protected ecosystem (Jule 1997, Vanderrmeer 1997). Patvardhan . (2000) have identif ied educational and defense premises that occupy less than 5% of the total urban area and are the hotspot for the urban biodiversity. The main aim of this study was to make comprehensive baseline information on the bird species for the future as well as to create awareness for their conservation. Rare and endangered species of birds, including migratory birds, were included in Schedule-I of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 thereby according to the highest degree of protection. During our study period, a total of 107 avifauna species belonging to 46 families and 18 orders were recorded. The highest species were recorded in family Ardeidae (10), Anatidae (9), Motacillidae (6), Accipitridae (5) and Muscicapidae (5) respectively.
