The Common Wagtail or the Balimahi bird which has a prominent place in the reservoir of local beliefs in the State has presently emerged as the harbinger of a profitable tourist season flourishing on bird watching in the areas around Dibru Saikhowa National Park and generating both direct and indirect employment for many educated unemployed local youth. This tourism thriving on conducted tours of bird sighting has inspired local people to stop killing of birds for consumption and join hands with the educated unemployed youths who have been promoting the concept of ecotourism. Needless to say, majority of the tourists who arrive at the eco tourism camps set up near the Dibru Saikhowa National Park for bird sighting are foreigners from the USA, UK and Germany and that speaks all the more for the big profit margin. It needs to be mentioned here that the Balimahi bird is the first visitor to the State arriving at Dibru Saikhowa taking the Lohit, Dibang and Siang river route. Till last year, the Balimahi had arrived on its normal time in September. The educated local youth of Tinsukia who have come together under the banner of Wave Ecotoruism had always been getting ready for the tourist season by keeping track of the Balimahi. Because its advent in September was a signal to the season of bird migration to the State, flow of foreign tourists and big profits.
