A total of 322 species of birds belonging to 190 genera, spread
over 60 families and 17 orders were recorded in Himachal Pradesh.
Intensive studies on residential status revealed that of a total of
322 species explored, 289 species showed short or long-range
migrations and rest 33 were residents. Of 289 migrant species, 123
were altitudinal migrants, 72 were seasonal-local migrants, 61 were
winter visitors, 28 were summer visitors, 4 species showed winter
and 1 showed summer influx. Analyses of data on relative abundance
showed that Himachal Pradesh is very rich in avifauna and acts as a
home to 143 very common, 109 common, 47 uncommon and 23 rare
species. Studies on avian diversity along the altitudinal gradient
showed that there was a decrease in bird diversity with an increase
in elevation. An insight into the bird diversity of the localities
separated by altitudinal gradient revealed that the bird species
present in one locality were replaced by another species in other
localities. Based upon present studies it has been found that there
are 11 globally threatened species of birds in Himachal Pradesh.
