Birds of Mount Abu April (2021 ) mountabubirds.blogspot.com

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

India is in anguish as the second wave of the pandemic is sweeping across the country. Many states have reimposed stricter curbs, to tackle the contagion, they impose partial to complete lockdowns. In many, a city and district's night curfew is in force. Once again Abu is back to square as it was in March 2020. The tourist rush has dwindled down to a trickle, and they have shut schools down till further notice. I as a birder do not venture out and have to be contented with backyard birding. Summers have crept in and the days have turned warmer, though our evenings and nights are still pleasant. Hope you enjoy the collection of birds I’ve put together in the first week of April 2021.
