An Updated Checklist of the BIRDS OF UTTARAKHAND


Compiled by Dhananjai Mohan Sanjay Sondhi

Published by UTTARAKHAND FOREST DEPARTMENT

The Updated Checklist of the Birds of Uttarakhand lists 686 birds that

have been recorded in the hill state of Uttarakhand. In addition, another 28

species which have been recorded in Uttarakhand in the past, but whose

presence in the state is doubtful are mentioned. The checklist provides up-

to-date taxonomic information, including that of species splits or mergers

in the last decade. Finally, the checklist also provides a mention of the bird

species that are Critically Endangered, Vulnerable or Near Threatened as

per IUCN's Red Data List.

AUTHORS’ NOTE

Since the last checklist of the birds of Uttarakhand was prepared in 2003 listing 623 bird species, significant additional information and species records are now available from Uttarakhand. The occasion of the Uttarakhand Spring Bird Festival from 5-9 February 2014 at Asan Conservation Reserve, the first ever bird festival in the state; being organized by the Eco-tourism Department, Uttarakhand Forest Department was the perfect opportunity to update the bird checklist. More information about the festival can be seen at www.uttarakhandbirdfestival.in and www.facebook.com/uttarakhandbirding.

The series of birdwatching camps that the Eco-tourism Wing of the Uttarakhand Forest Department has organized in the last two years has provided an additional impetus to birdwatching in the State. These camps have been conducted in 18 different destinations across Uttarakhand and have trained more than 200 people from amongst local communities, bird guides and forest staff.

The authors have relied on their personal experience of birdwatching in the State, published literature and credible photographic records and sightings to prepare this updated checklist. It is hoped that more information on the birds of Uttarakhand will be spurred by this list and the number of species recorded from the state will only increase further. Check boxes have been provided alongside the species, for people wanting to use this checklist to track their bird records in Uttarakhand.

The authors would like to thank CCF, Eco-tourism, Uttarakhand Forest Department for supporting the publication of this checklist. We would also like to thank Manoj Sharma and Raman Kumar for their review and comments on the manuscript.

AN UPDATED CHECKLIST OF THE BIRDS OF UTTARAKHAND

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.

Within the 6 National Parks, 7 Wildlife Sanctuaries and 3 Conservation Reserves in the state (Annexure 1), and outside these areas too, opportunities for bird watching abound. Uttarakhand is home to 14 Important Bird Areas (Islam & Rahmani, 2004) (Annexure 2) that are important and priority sites for conservation.

The last checklist of birds of Uttarakhand was published in 2003 (Mohan & Sinha, 2003) and recorded 623 species. Since then, increased research and amateur and professional birdwatching has resulted in the addition of many new bird species. In addition, changes in avifaunal taxonomy have meant that many species splits or convergences have taken place. The current checklist attempts to address the increased sightings and changes in taxonomy. In this updated checklist of birds of Uttarakhand, 686 bird species are recorded from Uttarakhand. These include sightings of some species that may be considered vagrants to the state, which is specifically stated in the “Remarks” column. In addition, another 28 species, which have been recorded in Uttarakhand in old literature, but whose presence in the state today is doubtful, have been listed as well. This includes the Himalayan Quail Ophrysia superciliosa, a dozen specimens of which were collected from near Mussoorie (Benog, Jhari Pani) and Nainital prior to 1876, and is now feared extinct (BirdLife International, 2013).

Of the 686 species, 5 species-Baer’s Pochard Aythya baeri, Slender-billed Vulture Gyps tenuirostris, White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis, Red-

An Updated Checklist of the Birds of Uttarakhand v headed Vulture Sarcogyps calvus and Himalayan Quail Ophrysia superciliosa are listed as “Critically Endangered” in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. A further 2 species are listed as “Endangered”, 18 species are listed as “Vulnerable” and 20 species as “Near Threatened”. Five bird species, which have been recorded in Uttarakhand, are endemic to the Western Himalaya: Western Tragopan Tragopan melanocephalus, Cheer Pheasant Catreus wallichii, Himalayan Quail Ophrysia superciliosa and White-throated Tit Aegithalos niveogularis and Tytler’s Warbler Phylloscopus tytleri (only in its breeding range). The IUCN Red List status for these three categories and the endemics are mentioned in the “Remarks” column.

The English Names adopted for the checklist are primarily those used by Grimmet et. al (2011). Alternate English Names that are still used in India are also mentioned. For scientific names, we have relied primarily on IOC World Bird List (Gill & Donsker, 2014) and Avibase (2014). The recent taxonomic changes proposed by Pamela Rasmussen (Rasmussen, 2005) as well as other recent taxonomic updates are captured in the “Remarks” column.

We hope this checklist spurs further study and updates to the avifauna of Uttarakhand.
