Author(s): Shamim Ahmad Dar, GM Shah, Shahnawaz Ahmad

The current study provides important information about the seasonal variations in aquatic birds in Haigam wetland. A total of 24 species of aquatic birds belonging to 8 orders showed variations for a period of two years (April 2012- March 2014). The aquatic birds showed an interesting pattern of fluctuations in the wetland and during these periods three categories of birds viz. resident, summer and winter migratory birds were noticed. Hence, the present study shows migration of different kinds of aquatic birds which needs regular monitoring to check anthropogenic activities.
