Abstract

A bird fieldwork survey was conducted for 5 days at Tasek Bera Wildlife Reserve on the 21st to 25th May 2009. This is one of the field work activities that were conducted by Sabah Parks’ research team in the participation of wildlife survey which was organized by Department of Wildlife and National Parks. Two methods were adopted namely general observation and point sampling during the course of survey. A total of 65 species in 29 families were successfully recorded from both general observation and point sampling. The results of point sampling gave that a conservative density estimates 0.8 birds per 61 m2 occupied the understorey of forest within the range of 2 m above the ground. However, due to the limited survey time, this estimation most probably is an underestimation.
