Abu Road and Environs Birding February 2021 mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

 Birding in the second week of Feb 2021. Abu Road Rajasthan IN.

Birding at Deora Dam (24.526081,72.6434882) 9 Feb 2021.

After our hectic trip to Jawai Dam, we decided the next day to visit a dam closer to home. This dam lies at the foothills of Mount Abu on the Revdar road. We got some birds, but most of the other birds were way too far away to get decent photographs. Appreciate the snaps snapped at the Deora Dam.

Did a brief spate of backyard birding. Tomorrow we plan to cover the area around Madhusudhan Temple. The flycatchers, warblers and the Oriel in this area enticed us, birders like the legendary cache of Mackenna's gold.

Birding opposite the Madhusudhan Temple was fruitful: we found our Mackenna's gold. The Black-hooded Oriole. Appreciate this beauty and the other birds of this area.
