Kanha Birds

Birds, birds, and more birds!

Two scops owls blending into tree bark. I could have looked at this all day and not seen the owls.

A brown wood owl (so we were told, but it isn't on my checklist. Gotta wait for my bird book to come on the "slow boat".)

Crested serpent eagle.

A grey-headed fish eagle. I had hoped that my photos of this bird would have come out better -- but it was difficult light to focus in. I loved the all-white legs.

The ever-present lesser adjutant stork.

Black stork?

An egret with a "goodie" in its bill.

This kingfisher looks to be eating a dragonfly.

A cormorant and an Indian pond heron.

A solitary grebe.

All of a sudden, two grebes rose up from the pond waters.

Peacocks were everywhere.

Peacocks were especially iridescent in the early morning light.

Hoopoes were quite common.

Another hoopoe.
