Senior Secondary School, Garhi Jattan, Karnal, Haryana E-mail:- [email protected] ABSTRACT The present research work was carried out during September 2009 to March 2014 to investigate the avian biodiversity of Sultanpur National Park in Haryana, India. In all, 161 species of birds belonging to 16 orders and 47 families were observed from the Sultanpur National Park. Out of these 161 species of Birds, 99 species of birds were Resident, 41 species winter migratory, 11 species local migratory and 10 species of birds were summer migratory. The present study revealed that 155 species of birds were Least Concern, two species of birds like Saras Crane (Grus antigone) and White-necked Stork (Ciconia episcopus) were vulnerable and four species of birds like Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus), Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala), Darter (Anhinga melanogaster) and Oriental White Ibis (Threskiornis melanocephalus) were near Threatened as per IUCN Red Data Book. The present studies tempt to suggest that Sultanpur National Park need to be further strengthened by ensuring water throughout the year in the accompaniment of massive implantation of Ficus religiosa, Ficus bengalensis, Azadirachta indica, Acasia nilotica and Mangifera indica trees to serve as the best roosting and breeding ground for Painted Stork, White-necked Stork, Black-necked Stork and platforms may be developed to encourage proliferation of Saras Crane and White-necked Stork. Key words: Sultanpur National Park, Deteriorated Habitat, Habitat Rejuvenation, Eco-tourism. Introduction Sultanpur National Park is an artificial lake which was upgraded to National Park in the year 1989 from a small bird sanctuary. It is located in Gurgaon (now Gurugram) district near Farrukhnagar town on National highway No.8 and at a distance of 15 Kms from Gurgaon city.

  • Bird Species in Delhi-“Birdwatching” Tourism
    Conference Proceedings: 2 nd International Scientific Conference ITEMA 2018 BIRD SPECIES IN DELHI-“BIRDWATCHING” TOURISM Zeba Zarin Ansari 63 Ajay Kumar 64 Anton Vorina 65 https://doi.org/10.31410/itema.2018.161 Abstract : A great poet William Wordsworth once wrote in his poem “The world is too much with us” that we do not have time to relax in woods and to see birds chirping on trees. According to him we are becoming more materialistic and forgetting the real beauty of nature. Birds are counted one of beauties of nature and indeed they are smile giver to human being. When we get tired or bored of something we seek relax to a tranquil place to overcome the tiredness. Different birds come every morning to make our day fresh. But due to drainage system, over population, cutting down of trees and many other disturbances in the metro city like Delhi, lots of species of birds are disappearing rapidly. Thus a conservation and management system need to be required to stop migration and disappearance of birds. With the government initiative and with the help of concerned NGOs and other departments we need to settle to the construction of skyscrapers. As we know bird watching tourism is increasing rapidly in the market, to make this tourism as the fastest outdoor activity in Delhi, the place will have to focus on the conservation and protection of the wetlands and forests, management of groundwater table to make a healthy ecosystem, peaceful habitats and pollution-free environment for birds. Delhi will also have to concentrate on what birdwatchers require, including their safety, infrastructure, accessibility, quality of birdlife and proper guides.

The only life forms visible across its vast expanse are the tiny baby frogs, which jump from one dry crack in the lake’s bed to another and stray cattle from neighbouring villages. The lake is dry since it did not receive its share of water from the western Yamuna canal. The canal owned by the Haryana government’s Irrigation department would not supply water to lake.

  • Distribution and Abundance of Indian Peafowl and Their Nesting Preferences Within Chandigarh City and Its Adjoining Areas
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 7, Issue 8, 2020 DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF INDIAN PEAFOWL AND THEIR NESTING PREFERENCES WITHIN CHANDIGARH CITY AND ITS ADJOINING AREAS Sandaldeep Kaur1 and Tejdeep Kaur Kler2 1Assistant Professor, Department of Zoology, PG Govt. College for Girls, Chandigarh 2Principal Ornithologist, Department of Zoology, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana Abstract - Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) is widely distributed bird but its status is unknown in urban landscape. The aim of the study was to estimate the distribution and abundance and nesting preferences of Indian Peafowl in Chandigarh and adjoining areas from January 2017 to December 2017. Two locations in the city viz: Peacock Garden, Sector- 39 (location I), near bus stand Sector- 43 (location II) two locations from adjoining areas i.e. village Palsora (location III) and village Maloya (location IV) were selected. Point transect method was used during study. The total inhabitants of Indian Peafowl was recorded to be 30-35 at location I, 15-20 at location II, 10-15 at location III and IV with flock size ranged between 7-10 individuals. The sex ratio was highly skewed towards females at all selected locations. The thick, thorny and scrub vegetation cover was found to be the most preferred habitat. Indian Peafowl devoted maximum time in feeding and standing followed by roosting, calling and display. Roosting was observed on Azadiracta indica (Neem), Ficus religiosa (Peepal), Acacia nilotica (Kikar), Melia azedarach (Dhek). Breeding activities of Indian Peafowl was commenced in the month of April till first week of October. At location I, II, III and IV nests observed were 7, 5, 3, and 2 respectively.
