The whole Kuwabari Dalani , situated in the east
about 2 K.M. away from Dhakuakhana
through Suren Buragohain Road and 1 K.M. away south-east from village
Bhagamukh, is the area of proposed Kuwabari Birds Sanctuary.
In 1990, the then Dhakuakhana S.D.O.(C), Dr. Anuwaruddin Choudhury along
with Ecological Centre, Dhakuakhana & Assam Science Society, Dhakuakhana
Branch jointly proposed to the Govt. of Assam by a resolution for declaring
Bilmukh Bordoibam, Arne Chapari,
Kuwabari Dalani etc. as Reserved Birds Sanctuary. The Govt. of Assam, by a
notification dtd.
3rd July,1996
declares Bordoibam Bilmukh wet land area as the second Birds Sanctuary in
Assam
.
In a census made the last Winter, there are 52 Nos. of migratory birds
excluding 13 Nos. of local in this Sanctuary. Most of them are the species
of duck. The scenery of
the Syberian swan flying in line is very
beautiful to look at.
Various species of birds are seen all along the year. Among them are:
Pani
Kauri,
Dari Kala, ,
Dauk ,
Gu-Bagali,
Moh-Bog, Kam
Charai, Pani
Dubari, Dalpunga,
Kanamuchari, Ajan,
Harali Hanh,
Ghila Hanh,
Hamuk Bhanga , Chilani,

etc.
The Sub-Divisional administration of Dhakuakhana prohibits killing and
driving away the birds so that favourable condition for the birds
would prevail in it. The
Magamix Nature Club, Dhakuakhana is
also trying at its level best for the preservation of birds and fishes herein.
In near future, it is expected that the proposed Kuwabari Birds Sanctuary would be able to attract tourists including the
foreigners.
