記事区分：原著Wild birds were observed on the Nara campus of Kinki University, halfway up the Yata hills, 150-200 m above sea level. The campus comprises secondary forest, grasslands, bare areas, and ponds. Sixty species of birds were recorded. Some fed on the seeds or fruits of plants growing naturally or planted on campus. Six species of raptors were observed, and they occasionally attacked small birds. A food chain with an apex of raptors existed on this campus. The bird fauna of this campus was compared with other faunae in the Kinki district: about 100 species of birds in Nara Park with climax forest, 28 species on the main campus of Kinki University in an urban area of Osaka Prefecture, and 52 species in the Kusumoto Wildlife Protection Area in Wakayama Prefecture. The diversity of bird fauna in this campus contributes to campus life because of the beauty and songs of birds, and is of educational utility when described in lectures and discussed in terms of the practice of agriculture and biology by our faculty.
