Abbreviations used in above list of .  Heard its call …….are those birds mentioned here in the list which was identified by the call and not seen by authors.  ?? This denotes that the bird identification done by authors is not perfect/incomplete/partial/seen once (not up to the mark/satisfaction of the authors). May be the bird was far away when observed in the field. Or identification of birds was incomplete due to various reasons like insufficient light, saw the bird from backside (this position does not reveal most of the field characters for identifications of a particular species). The correct identifications may be done or would be corrected in the (coming/future) visits or further observations of the same bird in this area.  Personal communications are those birds seen (in this area) by other people (rather than the author). This was mentioned to authors during the power point presentations given by authors and discussion done in our college campus. This list will be updated soon………… The authors are [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] . You can contact us for your suggestions and comments. And if you have come across a new bird (other than this list), request you to please send us the photos for confirmation of species.
