In India, we have hundreds of species of endemic birds and our country also attracts several other migratory birds that visit some designated spots during their migratory season. Some famous bird sanctuaries of India are Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary in Rajasthan, Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary in Goa, Chilika Lake Bird Sanctuary in Orissa, etc. The Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary incorporates a few types of cranes, pelicans, geese, ducks, eagles, hawks, etc. and is a famous tourist spot that attracts tourists, wildlife photographers, and nature enthusiasts from all over the world.
