India is not only a land of tigers it is a land of avian as well and fantastic species at that. Though Kanha National Park is well known for its tigers it is no less a destination for birding in India. In fact it is a fantastic hot spot for bird watching in Madhya Pradesh.
Though not popular for winter migrants and wetland birds it is a place for watching Central Indian forest species that abound here. With the help of an able birding guide a fairly large number of avian can be check listed.
For enthusiasts a medium range lens is more than enough while binoculars work perfectly here. Spotting scope is of little help in the dense canopy. In a three night stay one can chalk out more than hundred species but the more the better.
Kanha National Park offers equal opportunity to see avian and wild mammals like the tiger in India. Winter is the best time to watch our feathered bipeds but do not forget that summers are equally exciting to watch the spectacular residents thanks to thinning canopy and ensuing breeding season. Overseas visitors should be aware of heat in the summers and should consume lot of liquids.
Here below is an amateur effort to highlight some common birds of the park using an amateur camera and lens. These picture where taken in various seasons but primarily in winters.
