It is a basic work of bird strike prevention to investigate the airport and surrounding areas.In order to master the bird situation in the newly built clearance area of Jingzhou Shashi Airport,Hubei province,a systematic survey of the species diversity and distribution patterns of avian communities was conducted using the line transect method from June 2020 to February 2023.During this period,146 species of birds were recorded,belonging to 17 orders and 48 families.The highest number of species was the Scolopacidae family,followed by the Ardeidae family.Resident birds dominated on an annual basis(48),followed by winter migratory birds(41)and summer migratory birds(36).In terms of fauna composition,there were 71 species in the Palearctic Region,51 species in the Eastern Oceanic Region,and 24 species in the Widespread Region.By comparing of the avian species diversity among different seasons,the avian species diversity index was the highest in autumn(3.044)and the lowest(2.298)in spring.Comparison of avian species diversity during different habitats,the diversity index of avian communities was the highest in arbor forests(3.236)and the lowest in villages(1.696).It was showed that the species richness and diversity level of avian community in Jingzhou Shashi Airport clearance were high.Because of avian migratory and breeding,autumn and summer were the frequent seasons of bird activity at this airport in whole year.The potential risks of bird strike were high in autumn and summer.Arbor forests and farmlands were the most suitable habitats for birds around the airport.They were also the main sources for birds invading the airport.
