        abstract = {The present study documents the avifaunal diversity of Nohar, Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan, based on systematic surveys conducted during the 2024 session. A total of 89 bird species belonging to 39 families were recorded across various habitat types, including water bodies and their surrounding landscapes. Among these, 65 species were identified as resident and 24 species as migratory (summer and winter). The analysis revealed that 16 families were represented by a single species, whereas others varied as follows: 8 families with 2 species, 5 families with 3 species, 2 families with 4 species, and 2 family with 5 species.
A significant variation in bird abundance and species richness was observed across different habitat types, although no significant difference was noted among habitats concerning feeding guilds. The findings underscore the ecological significance of habitat diversity in sustaining avian populations. The study recommends continuous monitoring to evaluate the impact of anthropogenic disturbances on local avifauna and highlights the urgent need for habitat-specific conservation strategies.},
