Wetlands, important habitats to bird species, have suitable conditions for breeding activities as well as
constitute stopover sites at least to feeding or resting during migration activity of birds. The diversity of
birds in an area indicates that the environment is healthy in ecological terms, and the greatest need of such
areas is to remove negative effects from human based activities. Yazır Dam, the place where the study was
carried out; has a 360 ha pond within the borders of Süleymanpaşa District of Tekirdağ Province. It is located
at North latitude 40° 55' 7"N and East longitude 27° 24' 40"E. The study was carried out from September
2017 to January 2022 disclosing that a total of 84 species belonging to 12 different orders approached the
study site and 30 species of them were waterbird. When the birds are evaluated according to their status in
the area, it can be determined that 50 are resident species and 34 are migratory or transit species. Also, it
can be concluded that Yazır Dam is an area where the population densities of its species can increase rapidly
with the reduction of anthropogenic effects.
