Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary (RBS)

     A stone's throw away from the historic town of Srirangapatna, the bird sanctuary was setup by none other the famous ornithologist Salim Ali in conjunction with the then erstwhile ruler of Mysuru, Shri Kanteerava Narasimharaja Wadiyar back in 1940.

     Roughly 170 bird species have been recorded here. Of these, the painted stork, Asian openbill stork, common spoonbill, woolly-necked stork, black-headed ibis, lesser whistling duck, Indian shag, stork-billed kingfisher, egret, cormorant, Oriental darter, spot-billed pelican and heron breed here regularly. The great stone plover, and river tern also nest here. The park is home to a large flock of streak-throated swallows. During the months of January and February, more than 30 species of birds are found and the season of the sanctuary is from November to June. About 50 pelicans have made Ranganathittu as their permanent home.
