negotiate a steep climb that continues all through to Nainital Hill Resort at a
distance of 35 km. Further up towards Sat Tal and Pangot, the climb is steeper.
Despite the steep treacherous climb, you get glimpses of the Himalayan Range
that appear sparkling white against the blue backdrop of the yonder blue sky.
This is when you realize that you are in a mountainous region.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the days when it is cloudy, the range is not visible
due to the fog that acts as a sunscreen. On the fog-covered days, you can but
curse for being out of luck. Although this matters as you miss one of the most
picturesque sites on Earth your goal is present. Anyway, the
sighting of Himalayan Vultures will make up for the lack of sightings of
Himalayas. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Come high noon or a fog-filled day the birds of Sat Tal and
Pangot chirp throughout the day and you can happily spot them. Nainital is the
focal point as far as Sat Tal and Pangot are concerned. Sat Tal lies in one
direction while the road to Pangot is diametrically opposite. When you access
Nainital Sat Tal is midway. For Pangot you have to cross over from Nainital
Township.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While Sat Tal is at 1400 MSL Pangot is at 2100 MSL. Sat Tal a destination with seven lakes is populated while Pangot is an isolated
place with small hutments and few birding resorts. You need to carry essentials
to Pangot although the birding lodges are well stocked but when it snows
continuously you get trapped. Nevertheless, Pangot is ideal for high-altitude
birds and you will enjoy the trip.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The avifauna differs but not greatly. When winters are at
their peak in the Himalayas some rare birds migrate down to Pangot. Below is
the list of often targeted birds of both places combined. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a combined checklist of birds of Pangot and Sattal.
Almost all the birders visit both the destination on a bird-watching tour in
the Himalayan Foothills. The proximity and diverse avifauna is the reason for
the combined tour. Both places have a well-developed infrastructure for
accommodation, organization, and transport. Birding guides are easily available
for hire, and this should be done in advance. <o:p></o:p></p>

the destination is not as cold as we presume up there in the Himalayas it is
much colder.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj11_yQE1YcBWVdOfXwbl1DdXMskxP1bTVr8Ow4Rq2aOdpqp3LiUl_8zUTuuN9uvt61ip0w9LV5mXdBf-n9zgBUhJ_mfiEzcw2rNdFycBzF58m58003Lanp5Q7Ld6n9ks03I2U2_UFjmT0LkE3P-sreQDK81KoYFv8i4DMDzsSS4P0QaPW9dInAKJoC/s727/Brown-Fish-Owl-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="301" data-original-width="727" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj11_yQE1YcBWVdOfXwbl1DdXMskxP1bTVr8Ow4Rq2aOdpqp3LiUl_8zUTuuN9uvt61ip0w9LV5mXdBf-n9zgBUhJ_mfiEzcw2rNdFycBzF58m58003Lanp5Q7Ld6n9ks03I2U2_UFjmT0LkE3P-sreQDK81KoYFv8i4DMDzsSS4P0QaPW9dInAKJoC/s320/Brown-Fish-Owl-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pangot is not a hill resort and only a few birders frequent
the place. At 2100 MSL Vinyak Hill is the highest point where you can see the
Chir Pheasant, Koklass Pheasant, and the Ultramarine flycatcher. The climb from
Pangot township is steep and is manageable only by trained drivers. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ghDmSgWtIUk" width="320" youtube-src-id="ghDmSgWtIUk"></iframe></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Birders make frequent stops to watch the avian species and

hutments and a store. There are a few resorts in the township that cater to the
birders. Nothing Else! The forest
comprises Oak, Deodar, Pine, Cedar, and Juniper Bushes. The species inhabit
this vegetation and are not hard to find by ornithologists. <o:p></o:p></p>

subcontinent has more than 1300 species of birds but when you add the
subspecies the number goes up to 2200. This number is more than other
continents or countries of the world. However, the number does not count all
the time. Birders' visit is dependent upon the species and experience that the
country offers.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7k_OuUjbpEO_JugkU06tIlJkzekVLCoxiK6EUUT5_mhBNbWfeIMRm1QW1SRlAu-3cM9EF1_44jiAeS7Vnh6IpjG63TCQJSlFzBRT9cdpb5MuL1duKuhhSx7HFDLcy2hUyG8ELrfwnYOCQ-zVPQ3rLZRoAAeXNz8ZeeDrhs1xqyYuQlPqUusMlpEkm/s1755/tiger.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1755" data-original-width="1241" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7k_OuUjbpEO_JugkU06tIlJkzekVLCoxiK6EUUT5_mhBNbWfeIMRm1QW1SRlAu-3cM9EF1_44jiAeS7Vnh6IpjG63TCQJSlFzBRT9cdpb5MuL1duKuhhSx7HFDLcy2hUyG8ELrfwnYOCQ-zVPQ3rLZRoAAeXNz8ZeeDrhs1xqyYuQlPqUusMlpEkm/s320/tiger.jpg" width="226" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">India does not lag
behind in all these aspects and is rich in the diversity of avifauna. We have
an affinity with three zoogeographical zones.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If we add our own
zoogeographical zone the number rises to four. There are many subregions that
India has an affinity with and this explains the immense diversity in terms of
a number of avian species. The birding spots in the country are famous for
ornithological quests. Some are home to endemic, rare, and targetted species.
Not forgetting the common species which though common differ somewhat in
morphological and behavioral aspects. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2lB6fyunJwc" width="320" youtube-src-id="2lB6fyunJwc"></iframe></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most of the birds in
India are under serious threat like the Great Indian Bustard, Lesser Florican,
Sarus Crane, Black-necked stork, White
Winged Wood Duck, and Indian skimmer to name a few. The greatest threat arises
from cement structures being built and advancing urbanization. Lakes, reservoirs,
rivers, and other water bodies are shrinking fast. Natural habitats are being
into urban structures leaving little space for wetland and shore birds.
Deforestation is another big culprit which is fast reducing space for the
forest birds. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Like in the case of
mammals avians too are facing an existential threat and what will remain in the
future is anybody's guess.<o:p></o:p></p>

heaven. It is a tiger reserve, and a National Park well known for its birdlife.
It was the first National Park in India notified during British rule in the
year 1936. It was the first to be declared as a tiger reserve. Earlier the park

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The tiger reserve has an area of
529 sq. km and supports 200 tigers and more than 500 species of birds. The area
including the buffer is 1318 sq. km. The birds belong to the resident species,
Pale arctic migrants and altitude migrants which add to the numbers. When
winter in the Himalayas is extreme due to the snow the avians descend to the
foothills hence the destination is full of birds till summer. <o:p></o:p></p>

known all over India and abroad while Chambai is coming into the limelight. It
was once in the limelight for many bandits that dwelled in the land
proliferated by ravines and dunes an unproductive land that gained notoriety
because of the bandits. All that is past and tourism has replaced the
crime-ridden past. Chambal is a river sanctuary that encompasses three states
namely:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The long stretch of river spans
more than 700 km with a substantial area covered by the sanctuary. The
sanctuary is home to several avian species, turtles, marsh crocodiles, and the
gharial. It supports several mammalian and reptilian species on its banks and
all these are major attractions for tourists who primarily come here for bird
watching and boating on the river. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhik2E9CAHExH069AgJUdG2eMz3qT_IN8NVKyozI9WFw5ERJMqLSvNI9nVmikDVxutwe3CQzR8KVltXPcO8SjKFGX1hQmgj112wtD0j6g8yXxus3Ot3rJ7Pw5HkoYBuiOg45NjA_Am6csGodPnwxw8HZLxSnNgOs5g7F3INqaNXKOSKsQzp3ouLq338/s360/5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="360" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhik2E9CAHExH069AgJUdG2eMz3qT_IN8NVKyozI9WFw5ERJMqLSvNI9nVmikDVxutwe3CQzR8KVltXPcO8SjKFGX1hQmgj112wtD0j6g8yXxus3Ot3rJ7Pw5HkoYBuiOg45NjA_Am6csGodPnwxw8HZLxSnNgOs5g7F3INqaNXKOSKsQzp3ouLq338/s320/5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>

Yet the destination with 250 bird species is slowly getting popular for the fantastic opportunity it provides to birders. Tourists miss the fantastic ecosystem in the mad chase for tigers and they miss the amazing avians that flock around. This magnificent tiger reserve and National park is getting popular with bird watchers and every year a large number of enthusiasts arrive here. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WGqXI_zeWWU" width="320" youtube-src-id="WGqXI_zeWWU"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The diverse topography is very much suitable for forest birds and to some extent grass birds. The wetland species are few and some arrive in winter due to small water bodies in the core area of the park. Some water bodies inside the tiger reserve are home to Eurasian wigeon, Northern pintail, common teal, garganey, Graylag geese, and a few more species but winter migrants do not arrive here in large numbers. </p><p> Other birds that are seen here are Indian pitta, barred button quail, black drongo, racket-tailed drongo Eurasian thicknee, Scops owl, Oriental scops owl, Brown fish owl, jungle owlet, honey buzzard, long-billed vulture, white-eyed buzzard, black-shouldered kite, Large and median egrets, Greater Cormorant, Osprey, Tickell's blue flycatcher, tawny babbler, Asian paradise flycatcher, Palas Fish Eagle, Shama, verditor flycatcher, Gray Headed Fish Eagle, black-naped monarch, Wooly Necked Stork, open billed stork, Lesser Adjutant Stork, and the common shore birds. </p><p>The best areas for bird watching at Kanha are: Sravan Taloa, Anicut at Nakti Ghati, Bija, and Bahmni Dadar, the buffer tourism areas, Link No 7, 8, and 9. The mixed forest, water bodies, Lakes, bamboo clumps, wild bushes, and meadows offer sightings of many birds. Marshy grasslands hold interesting species like bush chats, munias, parakeets, pipits, and larks. </p><p>The Indian scimitar babbler, common grey hornbill, Malabar pied hornbill, common snipe, and painted francolin, are also seen in Kanha Tiger Reserve. The common avians are the common iora, yellow-eyed babbler, gray-breasted prinia, brown-cheeked fulvetta, ashy and plain prinia, common tailor bird, red-rumped swallow, white-rumped munia, purple sunbird, red avadavat, green munia, scaly and tricolor munia among the grassy patches and near the banks of ponds and small lakes.</p><p>Birding on the outskirts of Kanha National Park is most rewarding. Some of the preferred areas for birding outside parks are village fields, Banjar River, Ganghar Nala Bank, and the village confines. The enthusiasts visit the core and the outskirts as well.</p><p>A lot of <a href="https://book-my-safari.com/" target="_blank">birding tour operators</a> organize birding tours at Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh. Birding in groups is always rewarding. But the most rewarding company is that of the birding guide and naturalist. Enthusiasts should barry a good pair of binocs and bird books while going in for <a href="https://book-my-safari.com/kanha-national-park/" target="_blank">bird watching at Kanha</a> National Park in Central India. Spotting scopes are not required in this destination. </p><div><br /></div>Uday Patelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11289357844292255218noreply@blogger.com0Kanha Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India22.3345132 80.611513-5.9757206361788455 45.455263 50.644747036178842 115.767763tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781035365411811745.post-48544632757649319572021-10-09T00:53:00.005-07:002023-01-21T23:28:47.758-08:00Capturing Central Indian Bird Songs and Calls in Videos at Kanha National Park. <p> <b>White Rumped Shama</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The bird was singing extensively while we were waiting for Munna Tiger to be on a jungle road at Indri at Kanha National Park.

Many winter visitors like Osprey, Pallas Eagle, grey bush chat, Siberian Rubythroat, verditor flycatcher, Hume's Warbler, Sulphur Bellied Warbler, Tickell's Warbler and bar winged flycatcher shrike, gadwall, Northern Pintail, common teal, bar-headed geese, greylag geese are often seen here. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I had never come across Whistler's Warbler in my tours at Kanha beginning perhaps in the last fifteen years. This was a big surprise but try hard as I could I was not able to photograph the species as it was quick enough to move from the focus of my amateur camera. </p>Uday Patelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11289357844292255218noreply@blogger.com0Kanha, Madhya Pradesh 481111, India22.2815606 80.6181218-6.0286732361788467 45.4618718 50.591794436178844 115.7743718tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781035365411811745.post-26974299951527020612020-12-11T21:14:00.017-08:002020-12-12T03:53:21.285-08:00Gajendra Singh and Birds of Nainital in North India <p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Gajendra Singh Bharatpur Guide</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I first met Gajendra Singh in New Delhi a suave, soft spoken, shy and yet a confident man he struck me by his demeanour. He is going to guide us in Nainital and of course Bharatpur. I felt assured since my knowledge of this region in North India avifuana was at best limited. He lives at Bharapur Town much near the bird sanctuary also known as Keoladeo. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-zEIftW0sIo4WJQHNlFEZ5WjYxOP2bvfmqmjUl1b_cyfE5GZ9G_uCLWuYVkc2E_0Psi5xQCt1uT3KaFHWrR8bkiL2OK0yD71wAtfIzboA9SygybQpetuXVNXxhbI9VlpEjRPs-zCFbc/s854/Gajendra+Singh.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="854" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-zEIftW0sIo4WJQHNlFEZ5WjYxOP2bvfmqmjUl1b_cyfE5GZ9G_uCLWuYVkc2E_0Psi5xQCt1uT3KaFHWrR8bkiL2OK0yD71wAtfIzboA9SygybQpetuXVNXxhbI9VlpEjRPs-zCFbc/s320/Gajendra+Singh.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gajendra Singh Guide</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">Not to mention we had a fantastic trip in company of Gajendra Singh. For me it was a journey of discovery of the snow mountains and amazing feathered friends that flocked impressively all around us. Guides from Bharatpur are impressive by all means and dedicated. Coming from a humble background born and brought up in rustic surroundings he excelled as a guide and we could checklist many species on the tour. The species we met around Sat Tal, Pangot and Corbett Tiger Reserves where quiet new to me and he worked hard in order to lucidly introduce them to us and my English group who were avid ornithologists. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Birding for decades as an amateur, I had started working for <a href="https://www.indiafootprints.com/" target="_blank">Indiafootprints Adventure</a> safari organizer as a group leader and was completely new to North India having spent my birding days in Central India mostly in Jabalpur and the tiger reserves. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gajendra excelled, and I learnt about Northern birds with his guidance. We where to meet on some more ornithological quests in time to come then I became a permanent fixture at Courtyard House Kanha in Kanha National Park. I yearn to visit the confines of snow mountains of Uttrakhand on ornithological quests and hope to realize my dream often in future. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>A New Birding Venture </b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We kept in touch on ubiquitous social media called FaceBook or FB. Today I have learnt that Gajendra Singh is into professional birding under the aegis of his own company. Albeit still as a freelancer he plans to go further into this business and wishes to establish his own company. He is based at Sat Tal and plans to cover Pangot, Chopta and Manila besides other places of interest. My best wishes. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ornithologists and enthusiasts will be enamoured by his services as guide and leader. I am very sure of this. He can be contacted at: </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>gejendraknp3@gmail.com</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">WhatsApp: <b>+91 9982535015 </b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b> +91 9660196424</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">He has sent some of his bird photos for me to use in blogging and Seo articles and I thanks him for that.

Post breeding both the sexes may carve separate territories. The bird is insectivorous and passerine and is shy by nature except whence busy courting.</span></span></span></div>

Often seen in Kanha National Park and often confused with Crested Hawk Eagle these birds number less than the latter. I have seen it often but was able to photograph for first time and at the same time make a clip. The white chin and the mesial stripes are good identification features. The white tipped long crest is held erect most of the time. The rufus barrings in underbody and broad wings tapering down also help in identification. </div>

This bird was photographed at Kanha in February - March. Its status is not known here whether it is a breeding resident or migratory. <br />

Naturalists and guides that is most of them ignore common, plain, and simple life forms during the excursions in the tiger reserves and National Parks. These avian species are not targeted but nevertheless, they are a novelty for overseas visitors and for those from different regions of India. While some are exceptionally adorned by virtue of a magical melange others lack in the dazzling mix of pigments. Nevertheless, pipits and warblers subscribe to the plain categories but are mind-boggling, confusing, and difficult to identify in one go. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These images have been captured at Kanha National Parks during tiger safaris with guests most of who have come from overseas. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Birders all over the World rejoice in watching and identifying resident and migratory avians and some aim to photograph them to achieve excellence. But if you are an avid birder and do not have resources for costly equipment which deliver engaging images and captivate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While on excursions in the forests engage your clients with these birds as well and diminish the tiger chase.<span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>

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. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Kanha National Park is not the place for wetlands or shore birds niether it is a place for studying winter migrants. Hence birders should aim for forest birding using good pair of binoculors and a medium sized lens perhaps upto 600mm. A bean bag and a tripod will be very helpful. </span></div>

Ideal time for birding is summers in Kanha National Park. Ironically it is neglected season for the avian whereas the tiger chase is on. As the heat increases and canopy slims down the visibility of birds becomes higher but by this time the migrants have departed but any way few migrants species do not a summer make. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The season picks up with nesting of Sun Birds followed by courtship of paradise flycatchers. These are striking in their breeding plumage. Another target species is the Indian Pitta which can be seen lazing along a little bit of shade in the ground which the Orange Headed Thrush roams. Early summer is the time to find the blue capped rock thrush. This is a passage migrant to the North. Painted francolin, white bellied drongo, white browed flycatcher, white eyed buzzard, crested hawk and serpent eagles, grey headed fishing eagle, brown fish owl, streak throated woodpecker, rufous woodpecker, white naped woodpecker, brown fish owl, yellow crowned woodpecker, brown headed pygmy woodpecker, spot bellied eagle owl.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Malabar Pied Hornbill anytime anywhere takes the cake a sighting comparable to that of a big cat. This is also the breeding time for white rumped shama the magical songstar and the common Iora another lovely singer. Tickell's flower pecker can be photographed with greater ease during this season.So can be the Indian scimitar babbler, black naped flycatcher, scarlet minivet, white bellied minivet, white rumped minivet and scaly bellied minivet. Tickell's flower pecker's pink nest is a wonder to see. The orioles also become active in this season and breed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The shrunk water bodies become niche habitats for unseen or rarely seen birds since water is essential ...a patient watch would fetch a sight of bay banded cuckoo, grey bellied cuckoo, oriental scops owl, some crakes and rails.....this is like waiting at water for the tiger which often surfaces during the summer months.... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The list of birds seen at Kanha National Park is endless. Birding should be combined with tiger safaris which I believe most people do. This write up highlights bird watching at Kanha since it get subdued under the glare of the mega fauna. </div>

I once observed a female crow merrily feeding a large cuckoo chick in its nest. This seemed bizarre in the early stage of bird watching in my hometown Jabalpur. But little bit of reading enlightened me about brood or social parasitism among the birds especially the cuckoos of sub family Cuculinae of family Cuculidae.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The crow seemed entirely convinced about the chick being its own and was feeding it with great devotion like any other mother would. What really I was witnessing is a parasitic behaviour where a species was using another for hatching and rearing its brood as a way of alternate breeding behaviour. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The process begins with the female cuckoo laying its egg in the host nest. She may remove the host nest and place her own or in certain instances to mitigate competition for food or this will not happen and the parasitic chick shares food with the host chicks. Sometimes the nest may be ejected by the growing parasite chick in order to reduce competition. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The egg may resemble the host eggs in order to reduce the chances of rejection. This is known as egg mimicry. I certain cases like hawk cuckoo and Indian cuckoo the bird mimics <i>accipiters</i> in appearance thus frightening the host from the nest whence she comes to lay an egg. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Babblers and corvids have been seen to be preferred hosts of the cub family <i>cuculinae</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not all cuckoos are parasitic as may the case with Coucal of sub family <i>centropodinae</i> and genus <i>centropus</i> which builds its own nest. </div>

The birds abound but the search is for the tiger. This is a mistake most of the wildlife lovers make whence they visit a tiger reserve in Central India. This happens everywhere even at Tadoba which has recently become most popular destination for tourism. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tiger is enchanting and everybody wishes to see one. But if you are solely concentrating on one animal you miss many other species especially the birds at Tadoba. The place abounds with avian species and they are everywhere. They can be found in the forests, amidst bamboo clumps, grasslands, rivers, ponds and lakes and also in the surroundings outside the National Park. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Albeit in the tiger reserves most of the species found are those that dwell amidst the trees and grasslands. But if there are sufficient water bodies, rivers and other wetlands the chances of migratory shore and deep diving species being sighted is very high. Hence for birders the mix of habitats results in checklisting a vast number of species during a safari or a nature walks in the precincts of the reserve. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hence this is the way a bird tour is organised at Tadoba. A few rounds of tiger safari in the park is mixed with nature walks in the forest periphery, village fields and a drive to a large wetland. This way the trip is sure to result in high number of sightings of avian species. If you have a good birding guide your trip is going to be big success. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the species seen while touring this reserve are shown in the photographs below: </div>

The best season for <a href="http://www.tigersafaritadoba.com/birds_of_tadoba.html" target="_blank">birding at Tadoba</a> is the winter time. This is the period whence most of the migratory species arrive here. But in summer with the canopy reducing down it becomes the place to find the resident species in open. Hence for resident bird photography early summer is the best time. Bird photographers should take note of this. </div>

The diverse terrain is home to many forest birding species, while one has to scour a larger confine to target wetland and shore birds. The added advantage of birding in Bandhavgarh is the presence of the tiger. Wherever you are birding a chance appearance of tiger or that matter a leopard is possible. That is why birding tours here are so exciting and rewarding. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wildlife photographers who seek the tiger invariably end up photographing many of these enchanting avian species. The exotic surrounds of the forests and swampy grasslands hook up the birder no end. The ancient ruins and architectural splendours are a treat to the eye. To seek avian friends in such esoteric surroundings is an opportunity of a life time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bandhavgarh geography comprises of low lying hills and cliffs with steep edges, marshy grasslands, Sal and mixed forest and bamboo with intervening mountain rivers, lakes and small water bodies. These are excellent nesting grounds for resident species. The Bandhavgarh Hillock rising 800 MSl proves ideal for nesting Malabar Pied and Grey Hornbills besides the Indian Vulture. Since there are many steep cliffs Indian Vultures nest here in large numbers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Paradise flycatchers prefer the shore of the rivulets with dense thickets as breeding grounds. Other flycatchers seen here are the Black Naped, Taiga, Tickell's blue and the winter migrant verditer flycatcher. </div>

The best season is during the winters from October onwards however the strain is reduced whence the canopy thins out in summers but by that time migrants have departed. Summer <a href="http://www.tigersafaribandhavgarh.com/BirdCheckList.html" target="_blank">birding in Bandhavgarh</a> is excellent with hordes of resident birds to checklist. The best period for summer activity is March and April while May and June are very hot. But the heat not withstanding the period is excellent for bird photography. <br />

Incidentally it was a dead yellow throated sparrow that turned Dr.Salim Ali into an ornithologist and conservationist. We have all grown up the vicinity common house sparrow. I remember hoards in my old house chirping, feeding and nesting. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They were part of the house and us taken for granted the commensal of men could not withstand modernity as it has entered the vicious form that we see today. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The reduction in numbers is an indicator of serious environmental concern. Since a long time the reduction in their population has been noted in urban areas which they inhabit the most. This reduction in numbers is directly related to our lifestyle as well our way of farming. We are using number of chemicals which are toxic to birds and humans in long time as well. The toiletries, garden chemicals and pesticides used in farms are contributing to slow death of avian species Worldwide. The chemicals flowing through the outlets are ingested by birds which eventually affects their eggs and hence breeding. <br />
<br />
While the house sparrow lives in towns, cities and villages other species of sparrows prefer different habitats. The house sparrow (<i>passer domesticus</i>) is the most affected inhabiting human habitations. <br />
<br />
The continuing urbanisation is taking its toll due intolerance present generation since the sparrows used to nest in old houses. In modern construction there is no space for this avian and few nesting grounds are available. <br />
<br />
The population reduction is also due to the destruction of trees and forests. Constant large scale urbanisation has lead to reduction in number of trees and groves which the bird prefers. The scrub land another of its habitat too has been affected by rampant colonisation in India. </div>

<b>Birding at Kanha</b><br /><br />Kanha National Park along with other tiger reserves in Central India are a heaven for bird watchers. Albeit degree of difficulty is very high in winters whence the migrants arrive. The thick canopy makes visibility a challenge and greater efforts have to be made to identify avian by interpreting their calls. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Winters accord excellent opportunity to enhance skills in identifying the warblers and wintering pipits. In this region the latter are scarce but nevertheless there. But by all means this is a strenuous and stressful exercise. Anyway better birding starts from December on words whence water begins to recede and canopy begins to thin down. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ever exciting tiger chases will always be there to interfere merrily. Some serious birders tell me not to indulge in the tiger chase. I am happy with that because the run for avian accords me to sharpen my birding skills especially after a gap of three months whence the park is closed. </div>

For birders going into the park the Khatia Zone in the buffer with lot of mix canopy and bamboo provides ideal opportunity for birding in an open jeep. The expeditions are more challenging on the jeep safaris since getting down is not allowed. For a bird watching apart from Khatia Zone moving in the buffers is a good experience hence all zones and buffer zone areas should be explored. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keeping in mind the degree of difficulty winter tours should be of longer duration especially if the mega fauna is on the menu. Summer birding could be shorter due to increased visibility of birds and mammals. </div>

<b>Summer Birding at Kanha</b></div>

In the summers migrants leave but thinning canopy offers wonderful opportunity to watch the resident birds like the painted francolin, Indian Pitta, Orange headed ground thrush, Malabar Pied Horn Bill, Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Black Naped Flycatcher to name a few. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tiger reserve is home of forest birds and those expecting wetland species will be disappointed due to the absence of large water bodies. Under most circumstances good quality binoculars are more than enough with little use of spotting scope. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Birding can spring few surprises like my discovery of blue capped rock thrush earlier, rufus bellied eagle, pale footed bush warbler and spot bellied eagle owl. Sighting vagrants, passage migrants and some undiscovered species will make your trip exciting. Hire a good birding guide from among the naturalists in Kanha during the trip. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On recent visit to Kanha National Park we came around interesting birds. In summer time winter migrants are not seen leaving the sandpipers and black redstart which leave a little later. But March onwards Kanha National Park in Central India is ideal for summer birding. In this period one can find some of the migratory bird species and as the summer increases and foliage reduces resident species are seen all over. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hence it is delightful experience to find summer residents some of which are hidden in the dense canopy or bush during the winters. The added advantage is that many water sources become redundant and birds conscribing to various niche habitats gather around the remaining water holes, stream and lakes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many a discoveries are made during this period of avian that are not checklisted earlier at this tiger reserve in Madhya Pradesh. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On this trip we came across Spot Bellied Eagle Owl perched high on a skeletal branch. In the initial stages the guide pronounced it as Brown Fish Owl but I was not convinced. Hence looking through the binoculars I could make out that it was Spot Bellied Eagle Owl without any doubt. An image has been taken of this species at the same time which I am expecting to be sent. </div>
