Abstract

In this study, bird species in and around Yüksekova Nehil Reed (Hakkari-Turkey) were investigated. The study which performed one year took place between April 2011 and April 2012. As a result of the observations 123 species and 1 subspecies were recorded in 38 families from 17 orders. It was found that 23.4% (n:29) of these species were resident, 49.2% (n: 61) were summer visitors, 6.5% (n:8) were winter visitors, and 21.0% (n:26) were transit migrant species. As a result of evaluation of these bird species according to IUCN criteria; it was observed that 3 species were endangered, 5 species were near threatened, 3 species were vulnerable, 112 species were least concern and 1 species was not in scope. Population densities of bird species presented in Nehil Reed and its surroundings according to seasons was processed in digital maps.
