(delhibirdpix) Common Hawk Cuckoo juv? I - Goyeshpur, Jagadishpur, Howrah - 01.05.11

Hello,

Spotted this cuckoo today morning, but am confused because it seems to be a juvenile... its eyes are bluish, but has vertical markings on its front parts and horizontal tail markings... also it has a whitish collar... Could this be any other Cuckoo?

[BirdPhotoIndia] Another Record Shot

Hi,

There were several Red-headed Bullfinch couples feeding on the snow-covered ground but they were moving under the dense, 'tightly packed', dwarf Rhododendron bushes and were not visible clearly. They were quite restless too. Most of them were females with yellowish green nape. We came to know that they consume ice to quench their thirst and so we could see bits of snow along with some moss etc were often hanging from their bills.

The temple at Tungnath is at 12,073 feet but we could not reach there due to thick snow covering the path and it was not necessary too, as the Monals come down due to that upto Chopta (2600m). Usually different types of finches, accentors and tits could be found in the ice fields near Tungnath but due to bad weather, we did not find many.

Shot at Tungnath,Uttarakhand,India at an altitude of 10,500' on 10th April'11.

Thanks,

Maitreyee

[BirdPhotoIndia] A Tit

Hi,

When I was giving my lungs a little break after an arduous climb from Chopta, this little Tit appeared from nowhere and just after one sec flew away. I could press the shutter only once.It looked like a Spot-winged Tit but with no spots on its wings. Could it be a Rufous-naped Tit then ? I am slightly confused as its dark underpart did not extend much further down.

Shot at Tungnath,Uttarakhand,India at an altitude of 10,500 feet on 10th April'11.

Regards,

Maitreyee

[BirdPhotoIndia] Raptors

Hi,

Since early morning the sky was overcast and the snow peaks were not visible.Though we had wonderful sightings of Monal for a long time, when we reached above 10,500' at Tungnath, suddenly the sky started to look more ominous and we started to descend as quickly as possible .Strong, cold winds started to blow and a huge cloud, looking like a grey, torn shawl with loose threads hanging over the valley, approached us from the North-West. It brought rain and snowfall with it but it also brought these two raptors towards us. They must have taken advantage of the wind direction.

Record shots of a Himalayan Griffon (juv) and a Lammergeier taken at Tungnath (nearly at 11000') , Uttarakhand,India on 10th April,2011.

Maitreyee

[BirdPhotoIndia] Blood Pheasant

Dear friends,

We were real tired searching for the Monal since breakfast and having skipped lunch into the late afternoon, this was a definite booster dose. Major share of the credited goes to my friend Chewang Bonpo who tracked it down deep into the forest. In fact this is a full frame shot of Sikkim's State Bird.
