Water Birds Begin Annual Nesting Season at Bhitarkanika National Park
With the southwest monsoon active, thousands of resident and migratory water birds have arrived at Bhitarkanika National Park in Odisha's Kendrapara district, initiating the annual nesting and breeding season. Birds are building nests atop mangrove trees, with some chicks already hatched. Forest officials attribute the successful season to abundant food, extensive waterways, favorable weather, and minimal human disturbance. Bhitarkanika remains a key breeding ground, a status highlighted by ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali in 1981.
