Certain species of eagles and hawks prefer the Khyber Pass or other low- altitude areas while migrating from their breeding grounds in central Asia and Russia to their wintering grounds in India and other Asian countries across the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush ranges, a study by the Sasan wildlife division of the Gujarat forest department has revealed.
The findings have been reported in a research paper published in the latest issue of Birds, a peer-reviewed international journal published by Basel-based MDPI.
