Migrated-birds just as the benevolent nature has endowed Uttarakhand with a rich wealth of luxuriant forests, magnificent mountains and gurgling rivers, she has also blessed it with a number of excellent wetlands, including Jhilmil Jheel Conservation Reserve, Haridwar; which are a haven for migratory fowls for their wintering. Including ruddy shelduck, northern pintall, mallard, gadwall, red crested pochard, black headed gull and Eurasian curlew etc.
