Sanjay Dubri tiger reserve is much more green than Bandhavgarh tiger reserve. This forest area is gifted by many rivers that irrigates the forest and ensured healthy watter availability in forest thus here vegetation and forest type is different from Bandhavgarh range forest, despite of being close to each other and have active wildlife corridor. Some of the important rivers of this tiger reserve are Banas, Gopad, Mawai, Mahan, Kodmar and Umrari. Due to variation in forest, here we can find birds density is better and ideal forest for birds photography experience. Here birds find ideal habitat conditions like woodlands, wetlands, grassland, scrubland, farmlands etc which offers ideal nesting conditions for various bird categories like rare common migratory, rare migratory, uncommon migratory, resident, occasional visitors.
Here we have tried to arrange a birds checklist on the basis of bird survey report of March 2023, done at Sanjay Dubri tiger reserve, by different team of volunteers. These bird survey are the best way to arrange the authentic data, based of ground visit and actual observance of different bir species.
