Abstract

The present study was carried out from January to June of each year 2022 to 2023 checklist of avifauna in Mukuruthi National Park in the Nilgiris. We have documented 75 bird species across 13 orders and 34 families. Passerine birds(n=45) were more diverse than non-passerine birds (n=30). In the study, several bird species are categorized under various IUCN threat categories only one species is near threatened (Zoothera neilgherriensis) while each of the three species is considered endangered, and vulnerable, and the remaining 68 species are classified as least concern. The present study anticipates that montane grassland and shola forest habitats will serve as critical areas for flora and fauna species, supporting future studies on various aspects of avian ecology.
