Birds of Mount Abu Birds in [ September 2019 ] mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Birding in September 2019. Mount Abu.

I look forward to September because it's when the birds return after the monsoon season. The alpine swift barn swallow, Eurasian hobby, Harriers and a host of other raptors. I look forward to seeing the warblers and flycatchers. The greenish warbler is usually the first to make its appearance here in Abu. I was lucky to spot these species by the third week of September: Alpine Swift, Pied Cuckoo, Common Hawk-Cuckoo, Eurasian Marsh-Harrier, Pallid Harrier, Greenish Warbler, Gray Wagtail, and Barn Swallows (a new one for me!).
