Early Arrival of Migratory Birds in Bihar Signals Positive Environmental Changes This Winter

This year, many migratory birds have started arriving in Bihar earlier than usual, just before winter. The first week of September has seen birds like the gray-headed lapwing and common sandpiper showing up in the plains. Normally, these birds come around mid-October, so this change is quite noticeable.

Experts suggest that the early arrival of these birds could mean we are in for a harsh winter. The number of migratory birds is likely to increase, which can be a positive sign for the environment. Changes in temperature, irregular weather patterns, and better protection of water bodies are believed to be the reasons behind this shift.

Public interest in these migratory birds is growing as they signal potential improvements in natural habitats like rivers and forests. These changes could provide better living conditions for the birds, which is good news for conservation efforts. People are becoming more optimistic about protecting the environment and wildlife.

In addition to the migratory birds, there has been a significant rise in local species like Baya and Sparrows. This increase can be attributed to several factors such as the availability of grains and insects after crop harvesting, as well as ongoing conservation efforts in the region.

Bihar is now a leading area for certain bird species, particularly the Bada Garuda. This bird is known for its unique nesting habits and is mainly found in specific locations in the state. The increase in these birds reflects the positive impact of local conservation initiatives and the health of natural habitats.
