The present study documents the avifaunal diversity of the Tonk district in Rajasthan, based on
intensive surveys conducted during the 2023–24 session. A total of 127 bird species belonging to
55 families were recorded across 13 major water bodies and their surrounding areas. Among these,
94 species were identified as local/resident, 19 species as summer and winter migratory, and 14
species as resident migratory. Additionally, 28 families comprised only a single species, while
species distribution varied among other families: 6 families had 2 species, 8 families had 3 species,
7 families had 4 species, 2 families had 5 species, and 3 families had 6 species. Notably, only one
family had a maximum of 7 species. Like many other regions in India, the study area faces
significant conservation challenges.
