This study was conducted to find out the avian diversity at a pond in Village Choharian Wali, District Fazilka (Punjab) from September 2021 to April 2022. Ponds provides a high nutritional support for the birds to survive and breed. Presence of fishes in the pond is one important factor resulting in selection of pond as habitat. Each year during autumn season, many bird groups leave their specific breeding places and migrate to their specific areas for wintering, located at very far away distances. Climate of Punjab is tropical, semi-arid, hot and subtropical monsoon type with cold winter and hot summer. Birds are found at various ponds in Punjab. A total of 270 Birds of 12 Genera and 10 families have been recorded. Many birds reside on and around these ponds and many are migratory.
