Diversity of Bird Species at Some Habitat Type in Ciremai Mountain National Park

Abstract

Research about Diversity of bird species at some habitat type in Ciremai Mountain National Park conducted by two months (Juni-Juli 2006). This research aim to compile the list of bird species at some habitat type, comparing bird species at some habitat type and study the use of vegetationy by the birds. To count of the birds were used Point Count with Index Point Abundance (IPA), and to analysis of the bird diversities were used Index Shannon-Wiener. Result of research were found as much 78 bird species of 26 families; 62 species of 23 families were found in primary forest, 37 bird species of 18 families were found in secondary forest, 24 bird species of 13 families were found in garden. The highest bird diversity (H’=3.90) was found in the primary forest. The strata of vegetation with the highest use on all three habitat types were the third and fourth strata.
