Over the years, I have seen numerous Mount Abu Bird checklist reports that contain erroneous or doubtful information. Having been photographing birds for as long as I can remember, I have compiled a list of all the birds I have recorded in the Sirohi district of Mount Abu in Rajasthan. Birdwatchers will find this helpful checklist. If you notice any mistakes in my list, please don't hesitate to contact me through my blog.

I have seen a few species that I have yet to include on my checklist as I have not photographed them. I saw a pair of Indian Grey Hornbills Ocyceros birostris at Salim Ali Point, Mount Abu.
The Indian Jungle Nightjar / Grey Nightjar, Caprimulgus indicus, often makes its presence known in the evenings near Hanuman temple and Arna village. I have also seen them along the road to St Mary's High School.
