India Bird Watching

India is home to as many as 1200 (roughly 14%), out of which 141 are endemic to this region. What's even more astonishing is that of the 27 Orders and 155 Families that bird life has been classified into, India has 20 Orders and 77 Families. The reason for this richness of species is the climate, the diversity of vegetation as well as its wide altitudinal range, which extends from sea level to the Himalayas.

Bird Watching Tour in IndiaLet’s go back a little in time and unfold some pages of history. The Ramayana begins with King Dasrath of Ayodhya shooting down a Sarus crane.Its mate curses him of eternal separation from his loved ones and thus unfolds the 2000-year-old epic. More than anything else, it helps us analyze the birds in ancient India, as most crane species are known to pair for life.

Chirping noises are the noises that we love to hear because of its sweetness and the shrill sound make our heart sing with happiness. Watching

birds keenly and gaining knowledge on their habitats can be as interesting as watching some animal in the open wilderness. Some feel frustrated not spotting a bird for long. But like there are rules to every game, there are rules to this game also. Be sure you have a decent pair of binoculars and have adjusted and practiced using them. Always locate a bird first with your naked eye.

Consider colors a bonus. Habitat is always a useful consideration. In the midst of a coniferous forest you expect to see a different set of birds, than you would on an ocean shore or in a city park.

Songs and calls are excellent identification mechanisms and sometimes the only way to identify a bird because some species can only be distinguished in the field by their calls.
