The present study assesses the avian diversity of Hokersar bird conservation wetland Kashmir. During the present study a total 61 species of birds were observed which comprised of 25 resident species, summer visitors 17 species, winter visitors 19 species. Thus, avifauna comprised of 40.98% residents, 27.86% summer visitors and 31.14% winter visitors. Study revealed that no species restricted itself to only one particular habitat the study also shows that the Hokersar wetland has good number of the species of birds, but most of the species are represented by very few individuals and the habitat needs proper care to raise the abundance of birds. Anthropogenic interference in the form of illegal hunting, macrophytic harvesting, boating and severe cold climatic conditions during the winter season greatly reduced the diversity of the avifauna.
