In the hitherto study both Bannigola backwaters and Ankasamudra lake
recorded 47 species and 48 species of migratory birds respectively followed by
Magadi lake with 32 species. Among them 49 species visited during winter,
seasonal birds 8 species, 4 species of resident migrants, 2 species of summer
visitor and one passage migrant (Greater flamingo) identified. Collectively
from the three study areas 63 migratory species were recorded. Few of them are
Northern Shoveler, Northern Pin tail, Bar headed geese, Black tailed godwit,
Red headed buntings, wag tails, open gills, painted stork, ruddy shelduck,
