Birds of Uttarakhand
The Himalayan state of Uttarakhand is one of India’s richest regions for bird diversity, especially across the middle elevations of Kumaon. Forested ridges, rhododendron slopes, oak-pine woodlands, and terraced valleys offer exceptional opportunities for birdwatching and photography. This gallery features vibrant species like the Verditer Flycatcher, Indian Paradise Flycatcher, and Crimson Sunbird, as well as lesser-seen residents like the Black-chinned Babbler, Yellow-browed Tit, and White-tailed Nuthatch. Also included are montane specialties such as the Ultramarine Flycatcher, Bar-tailed Treecreeper, Long-tailed Minivet, Streaked Laughingthrush, and Black-throated Bushtit. From village edges to forest interiors, this collection captures the colorful and vocal birds of Binsar, Abbott Mount, Mukteshwar, Munsyari, and Pithoragarh — a paradise for any Himalayan birder.
