Bi.d fauna checkli.ts are i.portant tools i. ecology, bi.logy, and conservati.n planni.g for sci.nti.ts, stakeholders, and deci.i.n-makers. Despi.e i.s small area, the Gaza Stri. (365 km2) has a relati.ely large vari.ty of resi.ent and mi.ratory bi.d fauna. Therefore, the current study ai.ed to provi.e an updated checkli.t of all bi.d fauna li.i.g i. or i.habi.i.g the Gaza Stri.. Di.ect fi.ld observati.ns usi.g bi.oculars, conti.uous vi.i.s to zoos, pet stores and bi.logy museums, di.cussi.n wi.h bi.d hunters, follow-up of news and soci.0} networki.g si.es, revi.w of sci.nti.i. publi.ati.ns and photography were the mai. tools to sati.fy the purpose of the study. At least 250 bi.d speci.s collected from di.ferent sources occur i. the Gaza Stri. and are i.cluded i. the checkli.t. Thi. li.t wi.l not be stati., but i. i.evi.ably subject to addi.i.ns and changes i. the face of ti.es. The current 250 bi.d speci.s of the Gaza Stri. represent 45.4% of the 551 speci.s of bi.ds li.i.g i. Palesti.e. The bi.d speci.s were found to belong to 21 orders and 61 fami.i.s. The Passeri.ormes (passeri.es) represented the largest order wi.h 96 speci.s of bi.ds (38.4%), followed by the Charadri.formes 54 (21.6%), the Acci.i.ri.ormes 18 (7.2%), Anseri.ormes 17 (6.8%) and Pelecani.ormes 14 (5.6%), whi.e the other orders represented the remai.i.g percentage (20.4%). Wi.h regard to fami.i.s, the Scolopaci.ae represented the largest fami.y wi.h 22 speci.s of bi.ds (8.8%), followed by the Anati.ae and Acci.i.ri.ae 17 for each (6.8%), the Musci.api.ae 16 (6.4%) and Chari.dri.ae and Fri.gi.li.ae 11 for each (4.4%), whi.e the other fami.i.s represented the remai.i.g percentage (62.4%). Accordi.g to the i.CN regi.nal threat categori.s, 226 speci.s (90.4%) were Least Concern (LC), 12 (4.8%) were Near Threatened (NT), 6 (2.4%) were Vulnerable (VU), 4 (1.6%) were Endangered (EN) and 2 (0.8%) were Cri.i.ally Endangered (CR). i. conclusi.n, the study recommends a sustai.able control of bi.d h
