Migratory and local birds observed in November 2020

The last few days of November I roamed the few water bodies that are here in Abu to cover as many migratory waterbirds that come to Abu. Most were devoid of migratory except one which we have nick-named the "Duck Pond "of Abu. Ducks and other migratory birds visit this water body every year and remain till March. Appreciate my collection of birds I have put together for your viewing.

I observed migratory and local birds in November 2020.

The raptors such as the eagles, buzzards, gyps vultures and falcons are observed throughout the year, but keen observation takes place from September to March. My focus is on the warblers and flycatchers that visit our Hill station. I want to create a list of them for other bird enthusiasts.

The buteos I have photographed over the years here in Abu have left me in a quandary. Their varying plumage colouring and size make it difficult to pinpoint their species. If I have mislabeled any buzzards, please comment with your expert knowledge on the subject so I can rectify and keep the record straight will appreciate your suggestions.

Appreciate the slide shows that I have prepared of the various raptors photographed in November 2020.
