Nowadays I am becoming a
passionate bird watcher and looking for birds always around my neighborhood and
shutting down as much disturbance to listen to their sweet chirpings. Among the
many birds mist passes our courtyard and perched to the branches, there are few
regular visitors and home stayed by couple of Koels and crows.
Asian Koels |
Mynas are frequently sighted here
like there’s always one when u need and Koels flew in once food left at the
compound. They even beat the crows by arriving early to finish the left over
and if this continues one day instead of shouting out for crows on special days
to treat with vada, we perhaps could send sweet calls to Koel.
White Throated Kingfisher |
As u all know already I think
that a Kingfisher has been my morning visitor everyday and it’s still holding
its habit and I only missing to check it outside regularly. The bird comes to perch
irregularly these days except not only in the morning and I lately discovered
that it was the owner of the sweet vocal that chirps aloud in rhyming.
The unbelievable me, watched it
thought binocular to astonish how amazing and cute the little white throated
blows out loud series of twitter.
Rufous Treepie |
The other day an unusual bird
come across our sight and after a couple of takes on failure, I captured the
bird when it perch a branch of Gulmohar. The bird looked different and finding
its name and identity has been tough to only discover after a serious search on
Indian birds.
Rufous Treepie is the name of the
unusual bird and its call was something I could easily recall hearing here via
the internet and interestingly the bird is a member of the crow family (Corvidae). Found commonly on open scrub and agro-forest areas, both the sexes
of the bird are alike in main body color of cinnamon with a back head and long
graduated tail in bluish gray and tipped in black is enhanced by white patches
on the wings.
