Abstract
A study of bird diversity at Doi Chiang Dao Wildlife Research Station, Chiang Mai, along four (two permanent, which were Maeka and Maemard, and two intermittent, which were Ong and Sikrobkrua) creeks was conducted from April 2011 to May 2013. There were five orders, 23 families, 48 species of birds. Passeriformes was found in the highest number, and the buff-breasted babbler (Pellorneum tickelli) was the most abundant species, followed by the puff-throated bulbul and the black-crested bulbul, respectively. Maemard creek’s bird community (28 sp.) had the highest diversity index, followed by Maeka’s (20 sp.), Sikrobkrua’s (17 sp.) and Ong’s (10 sp.) with the values of 3.06, 2.89, 2.78 and 1.53, respectively. Similarity coefficiency index showed that birds composition in Maeka was similar to Maemard, and Sikrobkrua was to Ong creek. Abundance of the birds in the studied sites was dependent on physical and biological attributes of the creeks. This information has an important implication, for riparian conservation.
