Abstract
This study aims to study the diversity of bird in Ubon Ratchathani University at 2 areas, which included education area and Rongko conserved forest Warin Chamrap district Ubon Ratchathani province during March 2020 to February 2021 using point count method. A total of 101 species representing 14 orders and 45 families were reported in this study. Education area were found 64 species representing 11 orders and 34 families while Rongko conserved forest were found 87 species, representing 13 orders and 42 families. Order Passeriformes was the highest number of species (57 species), followed by Order Pelecaniformes (7 species) and Order Charadriiformes (7 species). The average of Shannon diversity index (H’) of bird in a year-round of Ubon Ratchathani University was 2.70 (2.34 - 2.98). The highest H’ was in January (H’ = 2.94) followed by February (H’ = 2.90) and March (H’ = 2.87) whereas the lowest H’ was in August (H’ = 2.34), July (H’ = 2.41) and September (H’ = 2.49). Cold-dry season (November-February) had highest average of species diversity index (H’ = 2.89) followed by hot-dry season (March-April) (H’ = 2.82) and rainy season (May-October) (H’ = 2.55). According to the IUCN Red List of threatened species 2016, one species, Anhinga melanogaster was classified as Near Threatened.
