Abstract: The species number and abundance of the avifauna communities in north campus of Xichang College were surveyed by line-intercept method during November 2013 to January 2014. The results showed that a total of 57 species were recorded which belong to 26 families and 8 orders. The dominant species were Pycnonotus cafer, Egretta garzetta and Passer montanus. Among the 57 species, 17 species (29.82%) belonged to the palaearctic realm, 29 (50.88%) species belonged to the oriental realm and other 11 species (19.30%) were widespread species. The avifauna floristic composition showed obvious oriental characteristics. According the survey, there were 40 (70.17%) residents, 2 (3.51%) winter residents, 8 (14.04%) summer residents and 7 (12.28%) travelers in this campus. Two species were under special provincial protection, 46 species were enrolled in the list of beneficial species with economic and scientific research values of China, and 1 species were enrolled in the appendix Ⅱ of CITES. The most (49 species) birds were recorded in the habitat of shrub and forest. Secondly, 33 species were recorded in open forest and shrub communities. The birds of Passeriformes accounted for the highest ratio in the turf habitat(84.66%).
