Birds of Mount Abu April 2020 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 Birding during the Second Wave of COVID-19 In Raj IN.

Birds of Mount Abu, the third week of April 2021.

SOS and sterner measures sounded in India as the virus runs Amok. The administration in Rajasthan has called for assistance from the BSF and Army to address the serious spread of the coronavirus in border areas. Mount Abu at the moment is relatively calm. We have a small percentage of Covid positive cases, but nothing to panic about. Appreciate the birds captured during these trying times. This year I have observed that the Oriental honey Buzzard has increased in number, and large flocks of Common Rose-finch have also come up to Abu.
