Migratory Birds Depart Pilibhit as March Heat Signals Return Journey

• Bar-headed Geese, Northern Pintails, and other migratory birds are leaving Pilibhit in March.
• Rising temperatures prompt their return to colder breeding grounds, often across the Himalayas or to Siberia.
• Birds like Steppe Eagles and Blue-throats exhibit specific behaviors, such as using thermals or increased agility, for their long flights.
• Siberian Stonechats accumulate fat, and Red-crested Pochards form large flocks before their departure.
• By the end of March, most species have completed their farewell to Pilibhit's waters and grasslands.
