List of Bangalore birds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of birds found in and around Bangalore in Karnataka, India. The Nandi Hills, Bannerghatta forest ranges and the Kaveri valley/Sangam area are included in addition to the Bangalore city limits roughly extending 40 kilometres around the city centre (General Post Office). The area has been studied from early times due to its climate and accessibility during the colonial period. [1] This list also includes annotations. This list builds upon an annotated checklist published in 1994.[2]
