Abstract

Ponds provides a high nutritional support for the birds to survive and breed. Presence of fishes in the pond is one important factor resulting in selection of pond as habitat. Many birds reside on and around these ponds and many are migratory. Bird migration occurs during the autumn every year from their places of breeding to their wintering places which are thousands of kilometres far- away. Migration means travelling for longer time at very long distances, which may involve crossing certain barriers that may be mountains or rivers. (R.Wiltschko, 2003). Punjab has cold winters and hot summers. Birds are found at various ponds in Punjab region they exhibit distinct ecological behavioural patterns. One of the pond in Punjab is located in village Choharian wali, District Fazilka (Punjab). Migratory Behaviour of Birds at this pond was studied from September 2020 to March 2021.
