摘要：The study was carried out in the wetland area near New Viva College, Virar west (19Maharashtra, during July 2015 to June 2016families were recorded in three different seasons. Maximum numbers of bird species were recorded in post monsoon season(82 sp.), followed by monsoon (77sp) and in prefollowed by order Pelecaniformes (14%) and order Charadriiformes (13%). Out of 39 observed families, familyshowed maximum number of birds (11sp.) followed by family Muscicpidae (7sp.) and family Scolopacidae (6 sp.) andMotacillidae, Accipitridae (5sp. each).16 families comprises a single species of bird in each.

The current avifaunal diversity is in threat from habitat destruction due to developmental activitand sewage dumping.
