Birding in June 2022 Mount Abu


This is the month when birders can observe a multitude of juvenile birds. Seeing these little creatures and the variety of traits their parents put up with is extremely satisfying. The busybodies use diverse tactics to avoid predators who are always praying around 24/7. At this time of year, they have to endure harsh thunderstorms and lashing rain. 
Here's a small collection of birds I snapped in June. I hope you find my work pleasing. Enjoy the two slide shows, I've added.
