MOUNT ABU BIRDS MY PERSONAL COLLECTION

As a nature lover, bird watching has always fascinated me. I’ve been taking pictures of birds since I was in school in Mount Abu, where I learned about the local birds and their nesting habits. I learned to identify birds chiefly by their calls. I’ve been taking pictures in the wild for several years."Explore the diverse bird life of Mt.Abu with my detailed blog post: See the rare species in their NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. Experience the ecosystem of this INCREDIBLE MONTAINOUS region" Welcome to Abu.

Birds of Mount Abu May 2021 mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

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

Birding has been low key, our summer is in full swing. The last week of May and our Lockdown is in place. We have had freaky weather with overcast skies and strong winds that thankfully cooled the place down, giving birders respite from the scorching sun. The birds photographed during this phase include our resident Green Munia, fondly called the Haria. Appreciate the collection I've put together.

Birding in the last few days of May 2021.
