Migratory birds in December 2020 Mount Abu mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 Migratory Raptors, ducks and warblers were observed in December 2020.

Our winter is in full swing. I have been trying to identify the various Buzzards that visit our area. Differentiating some Buzzards in our region is difficult, as it has covered not much regarding their taxon and the range they cover. I face the same dilemma with identifying warblers, swallows and martins. Appreciate the birds I have covered so far in Dec 2020. If anyone viewing the various species feels or knows, that I have not nailed the correct species with their names, point out the mistake so I can correct it.
