Thank you, Marija! Amazing colors on that little turquoise bird.

And i'm using this article to lure my bird-watcher daughter-in law with me to India one of these yrs!

Yes, thank you for posting! We are avid bird watchers and spent 2 1/2 weeks of our last 5 week trip to India bird watching in many of the areas mentioned and seeing all of the birds in the photographs (except 3, which we hope to see on the next trip) I believe. Our next trip, we are spending all 5 weeks bird watching in some of the other locales mentioned. Did I mention we are avid?...maybe crazy is a more appropriate word.

Has anyone been to Chhatra Sagar? I debated about including it in our itinerary, but read caveats that the pond doesn't always have water.

Great photos with the NYT story!

Amazing pictures of clorful birds.

Thanks for posting, Marija.
