Migratory birds from the Himalayan region have arrived at Odisha's Bhitarkanika National Park, finding a congenial, human-interference-free winter habitat. Ornithologists are delighted as flocks are thronging various water bodies and creeks, attracted by ample food security and cool atmospheric conditions. Notable species include endangered Indian skimmers, grey pelicans, and white-backed vultures, alongside other common migratory birds. Bhitarkanika, along with Chilika, is a favored destination for these seasonal visitors.
