Waterbirds are an important functional group, responsible for countless ecological roles, including the dispersion of aquatic invertebrates. That group has been threatened by the processes of agricultural expansion and of urban growth, what promote degradation of natural habitats and environmental contamination, reflecting in the decrease of the richness of bird species. The present work was undertaken to evaluate aspects of the biology and ecology of piscivorous birds in an urban site of the Uberabinha river, municipality of Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais. The study was conducted from January to December of 2004, having been registered ten species of birds (nine genders, four families and three orders). Among the observed birds, Phalacr...
