Mount Abu birds in March 2023.

Birds of Mount Abu third week of March 2023. 

This year the weather in the third week of March was delightful. The thunderstorms and cool weather we experienced here did not feel like our normal March. With summer, the temperature in Mount Abu becomes more pleasant, providing an ideal habitat for the birds to mate, nest, and rear their young. Observing the residential birds in their mating plumages is a wonderful time. Looking forward to your comments and suggestions on the birds of Mount Abu.
