KENDRAPARA: With the mercury making upward move, the migratory
birds have started their homeward journey from Bhitarkanika National Park after
staying for about four months.
Thousands
of birds of different species flocked the water bodies and the forest cover of
Bhitarkanika in November to avoid the harsh winter in their habitations in
northern Asia and Central European countries.
A
large number of birds have already flown out of Bhitarkanika, while wader birds
were preparing to leave. Everyday, hundreds of birds are flying out of the mangrove
forest of the national park, said Forest Range.
Abundant fish in the river and creeks and distance from human habitation
have made Bhitarkanika a suitable abode for these birds during winter. The
forest officials recorded the presence of 1, 13,226 birds last month during the
annual avian census.
