In this paper the authors show some ecological researches about the ornithofauna registered on the Piteşti Basin (part of the Argeş River Basins, site included in the Nature 2000 network) performed during 2003 – 2011. 189 birds’ species were identified. They belong to 17 orders, the Passeriformes order (with 88 species) being the best represented regarding the number of species. The high number of species recorded from April to September suggests that the area is favourable for many species of birds that breed or eat here in the passage period. Concerning the constancy, the most species were the accidental species and concerning the dominance, the most species were the subrecedent species. Anas platyrhynchos, Fulica atra and Larus ridibundus were the eudominant species. Generally, their number of individuals was the biggest from November to February, the Piteşti Basin representing for them an important place of wintering. 41 species belong to Annexe 1 of the Birds Directive.
