Birds of Mount Abu Birds  July  2017.


After the sizzling hot months of May and June in the Abode of the Gods, July would seem the ideal month for tourists to visit the Abode. Let me assure you July is ok for a pleasant stay to avoid the blistering conditions of the plains, but it’s not an ideal place for birding, streams are dry, the forest is dry and pining for the monsoons. I've put together a small collection of birds photographed in the month of July.
