The use of wetlands and their resources is
widespread among many diverse bird taxa of the world. The diversity and
abundance of avian species in Owena Multipurpose dam was assessed out between
January and June, 2016 to provide baseline information of the birds in this
area.
The line transects method
with lengths ranging from 350 m-1000 m was adopted for the survey. Birds recorded
were categorized into order, family, species, migratory status and feeding
guild.
Relative abundance of bird species and
diversity indices were determined. Significance in mean bird density in the two
seasons was determined using T-test while One-Way ANOVA was used to test for
significance in bird diversity indices.
