The current study focuses on the observation of avifauna in the catchment area of Rispana river and its surrounding urban spaces in Dehradun. Direct observations were made to record the diversity of the avifauna to create a checklist. The study was carried out from January 2022 to December 2022. A total of 214 species were recorded belonging to 64 families during the study period. The maximum number of species belonged to the Muscicapidae family with the highest relative density of 10.74%, followed by Accipitridae and Picidae both with a relative density of 7.47% and 4.67%.
