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

 Birds of Mount Abu 3 week of June 2021.

Birding during this period was low key. Overcast skies and sultry afternoon sun kept me indoors most of the time. We are still in lockdown as the second wave is still to be contained. Appreciate the small collection I have put together.

Mount Abu Birding March 2021 mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

Birdwatching in Mount Abu March 2021. 

Due to COVID-19, I stayed away from the hillside because many people from different parts of the country were visiting Abu for a quick vacation. During the month of March 2021, birding was on a LOW KEY. I did my daily backyard birding. On March 4, I left the home to photograph the last of our migrating ducks and other water species. I'm eager to make the last journey in a day or so to see if any Stragglers are still around. I hope my photos inspire more people to participate in bird watching and recording in their own towns and localities.
