List of birds found in Sikkim

Despite being a botany student in recent times my interest in birds and butterflies of Sikkim is developing and I am sure there are people around who despite little knowledge like me do follow them. 

Ornithology as it is generally termed means a study of birds and the person studying ornithology is called an ornithologist. 

I found a checklist of birds of Sikkim compiled by Sumit K Jain (2008) while surfing the internet which I would like to share with my readers. Hope my readers love to know them.
