This research, which is the first study on the Karakaya Basin on the
ornitho-fauna, was carried out in a 12 month period in 2019. In the research
carried out to reveal the bird species and their distribution in the area,
transect and point count observation methods were used to determine bird
species. Observations were carried out at 1-2 day intervals per week. Observed
species have been described using birds of Turkey guidebooks. As a result of
the observations, from 53 families belonging to 21 orders; 181 bird species
have been identified. Distribution of bird species according to orders, Grebes
(Podcipediformes), Pelicaniform (Pelecaniformes), Cormorants (Suliformes), Storks
(Ciconiiformes), Flamingos (Phoenicopteriformes), Anseriform (Anseriformes),
Accipiteriform (Accipiteriformes), Falconiform (Falconiformes), Galliform
(Galliformes), Gruiform (Gruiformes), Charidriiform (Chadriiformes), Sandgrouse
(Pteroclidiformes), Columbiform (Colombiformes), Cuculiform (Ferculiformes),
Owls (Strigiformes), Nighjars (Caprimulgiformes), Apodiform (Apodiformes),
Coraciiform (Coraciiformes), Bucerotiform (Bucerotiformes), Piciform
(Piciformes), Passeriform (Passeriformes). The results of the research indicate
that the Karakaya Basin is a leading ornithological region for Turkey. In
addition, the species diversity and population densities may also increasing as
a result of the effects of global climate change in the region. acknowledgments: This study was
