Bird survey included nine repetitions of point count (at 16 points 150 m apart), six days (12 hours each) of mist netting, and 30 McKinnon lists of 20 species. We mist netted individuals of 23 species in Wanang 1 and 37 species in Wanang 3. During the morning point-counts, we recorded 3358 individuals of 82 species in Wanang 1 and 11516 individuals of 122 species in Wanang 3. Altogether we recorded 99 species in slightly disturbed Wanang 1(on the border of conservation area) and 131 species during long-term survey in deep forest of Wanang 3. Here we bring the list of recorded species and information about few of them. We hope that this booklet will be useful for visitors of Wanang area and to villagers.
