Late in June, the air is heavy with the anticipation of the upcoming monsoon rains. It's 130 degrees and nearly 100% humidity. A good day to linger in the shade of a nearby pond.
The Indian Paradise Flycatcher quickly became a favorite. I tried to capture its color and grace even as the evening light fought with my efforts
Many other avian acrobats competed for my attention.
These are some of them:
White-breasted Waterhen
Rose-ringed Parakeet.
Red-vented Bulbul
Indian Golden Oriole
Cinnamon Bittern
Asian Pied Starling.
There were many more. I was overwhelmed.
Yes!, specially considering that our main objective was to see the tigers
What a great birding trip!
