Wild birds in November 2020 Mount Abu mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 Migratory and local birds observed in November 2020.

I observe raptors such as eagles, buzzards, gyps vultures, and falcons throughout the year, but I focus my keen observation from September to March.  I am dedicated to photographing the flycatchers and warblers that come to our Hill station. I want to create a list of them for visiting birders.

The number of Eurasian Sparrowhawks visiting Abu has increased within the bird's core range over the last few years. The local Shira and the few Sparrowhawks go at each other for control of territorial space. These birds also mob the other raptors that come on their winter tour.
