The exploration of Rakchham- Chhitkul Wildlife Sanctuary present in the Baspa valley (Sangla valley) situated in remote tribal district of Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh, India revealed the presence of a diverse population of birds consisting of 73 species, belonging to 52 genera, spread over 24 families and 9 orders. The 8.2% species of birds in the area were resident while a large percentage i.e. 91.8% being local or long range migrants. 23.2% birds were local migrants and 49.3% summer visitors. The population of around 19.1% species augmented during summers because of influx of more individuals during summer. Analysis of data revealed that of the 73 species recorded, 23 (31.5%) were very common, 34 (46.6%) common, 14 (19.1%) uncommon and 2 (2.8%) rare to the sanctuary.

<p>The avifaunal diversity of Chamba District of Himachal Pradesh with emphasis on Kalatop-Khajjiar Wildlife Sanctuary and its surrounding was observed for a period of one year between 2012 and 2013. We observed 95 species of birds belonging to 12 orders and 40 families. Of this diversity, 41 species were abundant to common, 34 occasional and 20 rare. Most species were resident (83 species, including two species whose population increased during winters) and the rest were migrants (including nine winter migrating species and three summer migrating species). A total of 302 species of birds have been reported from Chamba District between 1884 and present. Analysis of recent published literature in conjunction with the present study reveals that 178 species of birds have been reported from Chamba District since 2000. The present study reports 11 new records for the district.</p><div> </div>
