Abstract:

 This research was carried out between March 2020 and November 2021 to determine bird fauna of Nemrut Caldera Natural Monument located within the borders of Bitlis Province. As a result of field studies conducted in the caldera and its surroundings, a total of 72 bird species belonging to 29 families from 13 ordo were identified in the area. Of these species, 24 33.3 were determined as resident, 41 57 as summer migrant and 7 9.7 as transit migrant. When the threat levels of the bird species observed in the area were examined according to the IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature criteria; 1 species was in the VU VulnerableSensitive Aythya ferina category. When the IUCN Red List Categories of the species in Europe evaluated, 2 species in the area were VU Tringa totanus ve Corvus frugilegus and 4 species were NT Fulica atra, Coturnix coturnix, Apus apus, Lanius senator.

 Bu araştırma, Bitlis ili sınırları içinde bulunan Nemrut Kalderası Tabiat Anıtının kuş faunasını belirlemek amacıyla Mart 2020-Kasım 2021 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kaldera ve çevresinde yürütülen arazi çalışmaları sonucunda alanda toplam 13 takım ve 29 familyaya ait 72 kuş türü tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden 24ü yerli 33.3, 41i yaz ziyaretçisi 57 ve 7si transit göçer 9.7 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Alanda gözlemlenen kuş türlerinin IUCN Uluslararası Doğa Koruma Birliği kriterlerine göre tehdit dereceleri incelendiğinde; 1 tür VU Zarar görebilirDuyarlı Aythya ferina kategorisinde yer almaktadır. Türlerin Avrupadaki IUCN tehlike kategorileri incelendiğinde ise 2 tür VU Tringa totanus ve Corvus frugilegus ve 4 tür NT Tehdide açık Fulica atra, Coturnix coturnix, Apus apus, Lanius senator kategorisindedir. Bern Sözleşmesine göre ise alandaki 43 kuş türü Ek II listesinde, 24 kuş türü de EK III listesinde yer almaktadır.
