BIRD WATCHING

 
Bird watching in Kabini is an excellent pastime with
over 300 species of birds being recorded here.

The Kabini region is dominated by deciduous forests,
but you can also find patches of scrubs around
the periphery as well as a lot of cultivation around
the area. The backwaters of the Kabini act as a huge water body attracting a wide variety of water birds. Even when the river recedes, it leaves isolated pools
of water that attract a multitude of birds as fish are trapped in them.

Some of the birds that can be found in this region are
the Osprey, Grey-headed Fish Eagle, Malabar Pied Hornbill, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Malabar Trogon,
White-bellied Woodpecker, White-rumped Shama
and the Plum-headed Parakeet.
