Mitsinjo Forest is located adjacent to the famous Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. With over 110 species recorded, Andasibe-Mantadia is one of Madagascar’s prime bird-watching sites, and many of the common birds can be found both in the park and Mitsinjo Forest. However, Mitsinjo’s Forest is more degraded than the national park and some of the specials can’t be found here. A forest night walk is recommended to pick up some of the nocturnal birds, such as the collared nightjar, Madagascar nightjar, Madagascar scops owl and Madagascar long-eared owl.
