The results of a one year study of bird communities from the Lotrioara River Basin (Lotru Mountains, Romania), using the transect method along the main valley, are presented. The study aimed to reveal the characteristics of the community’s dynamics, both from spatial and temporal point of view. During the research period 70 species belonging to 9 orders were identified in the investigated area. The number of species decreases with the altitude, but it is also related to the heterogeneity of habitats. During the year the species’ number varies from a minimum in winter to a maximum in spring. Insectivores are the prevailing feeding guild in the bird communities from Lotrioara basin, but during the cold season the dominance is taken over by omnivorous and granivorous species.
