MOUNT ABU BIRDS MY PERSONAL COLLECTION: Buteo rufinus

Mount Abu Birds in November 2019.

It’s the end of November. There’s still a scattering of clouds over Abu. Imagine my delight when I looked up into a clearing of cloud cover I spotted 4 vultures circling; they looked like the Indian vultures. Indian vultures here in the Abode gosh! I quickly got out my camera and began photographing. Vultures, especially the Indian vulture to see here after so many years, is a thrill. After I examined the snaps, my initial disappointment of not seeing the Indian vulture but the Eurasian vultures left a void. The Indian vulture was once a resident of Abu and a frequent sight to see a few decades ago.

I've created a slide show do appreciate my birds of November 2019

Birds of Mount Abu MAY 2019.

It's the nesting season for most of the birds. Early morning and late evening are the most suitable time for birding in Mount Abu. The blazing sun during the day in May is best avoided. Appreciate the collection of birds I've taken in May 2019.
