        abstract = {Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems, supporting rich biodiversity, particularly avifauna. The present study evaluates the diversity of wetland birds in Chalisgaon Taluka, Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India. Field surveys were conducted from September 2023 to October 2024 using point count and line transect methods across selected wetland habitats. A total of 70 bird species belonging to 08 orders and 14 families were recorded; a total of 70 bird species were wetland-dependent birds. Charadriiformes was dominant in the study area, including 5 families and 20 species (28.57%), followed by Order Anseriformes, 1 family and 16 species (22.85%); Pelecaniformes, with 2 families and 14 species (20%); Ciconiiformes, with 1 family and 06 species (08.57%); Gruiformes, with 1 family and 05 species (20%); Suliformes, with 2 families and 04 species (5.71%); Coraciiformes, with 1 family and 04 species (5.71%); and Podicipediformes, with 1 family and 01 species (1.42%). The aim of this study was to observe and record the avifaunal diversity of wetland birds in Taluka Chalisgaon, Dist. Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India.},
