A summer afternoon at a Ranthambore pond

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.
