Birds of Mount Abu May 2022 mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

 Birds at Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary in May.

The second week of May 22, Mount Abu suffered many forest fires erupting across the hillsides. The nesting season of birds and forest animals like snakes, chameleons, lizards, and land monitors is being disrupted by the wildfires.
As part of my everyday routine, I observed birds in my area. Here are some snaps I took during this time period.
