The aim of study was to determine diversity of avifauna across habitat types in Lau and Zing Local Government Area of Taraba State, Nigeria. The study was conducted between September 2019-February 2020. The habitats were divided in to five (5) habitat types namely: Woodland, Wetland, Riparian forest, Forest and Rocky outcrop. Point count and transect walk method was used to collect data on diversity of avifauna. Shannon Wiener diversity index (H) was used to determine species diversity across the habitat types. 17,408 birds from 57 families and 301 species were recorded in the study area. The highest diversity was recorded in the Riparian Forest (3.645) for the wet season and Forest habitat (3.543) for the dry season. Evenness diversity (E) shows that the highest evenness was recorded in the Riparian forest (0.839) and the lowest in Rocky outcrop (0.507) from September to November 2019 while highest diversity was recorded in the Forest habitat (3.543). Evenness diversity (E) also shows that the highest evenness was recorded in Rocky outcrop (0.830) and the lowest in Riparian forest (0.541) from December, 2019 to February 2020. The findings of this research provide evidence that Riparian Forest and Forest habitats can serve as safety haven for birds, therefore, conservation effort should be focused on Riparian forest, Forest and Wetland habitats.
