Birds of Mount Abu October 2020 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 I observed wild birds in the second week of October 2020.

During the second week of October, Common Pochard ducks and other migratory birds visited this small hill station in Rajasthan. Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveller and Tufted ducks are here for the winter. Quite a few raptors and warblers are also here. I've put together some slides shows and snaps for viewing. Happy viewing.
