The hill state of Uttarakhand (formed in 2000, then known as Uttaranchal) has terrific avifaunal diversity. Of the 1303 bird species recorded from India, compiled from the IOC World Bird List (Gill & Donsker, 2014), more than 50% are found in Uttarakhand. The state’s varies from the terai region in the plains, the bhabhars (the outermost foothills of the Himalaya), the Shivaliks (sub-Himalayan range), the Lower Himalayas and finally, the high altitudinal Greater Himalayas. The amazing diversity in habitat from the plains up to the numerous mountain peaks that exceed altitudes of 7,000 m results in marvelous avifaunal diversity.
