Amur Falcons are not endangered species. And they have not been declared as a State Bird of
Nagaland. Amur Falcons were hunted heavily in Nagaland a few years ago, but after a massive
conservation campaign, this has been checked to a great extent. A stamp on the same has also
been released.
The Amur falcons start their annual sojourn from south-eastern Siberia and Northern China to
Northeastern India, roost in Nagaland and some adjoining Assam districts before leaving for
southern Africa where they spend the winter. The most amazing part of their flight is the three-
and-a-half days non-stop flight across the Arabian Sea.
