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

Birds of Mount Abu last week of April 2021.

Today I’m writing my post with a heavy heart. The pandemic which has run amok here in India has left in its wake many families, relatives and close friends devastated. My home town Mount Abu has also seen a rise in positive cases of COVID-19. There is a shortage of beds, oxygen, cremation slots, essential medicines and oxygen throughout the country. The list goes on and so does life. All I can say is Cheers to life, live it well, and hope for the pandemic to take a turn for the better. (Live in Hope and Don't Die in despair )

I’ve put together a collection of birds photographed during this lockdown Period. Appreciate my snaps. Be safe and take care.
