I got really lucky in getting to this place near my village, Its abundance in Bird life simply amazed me. I got this shot of a Kalij Pheasant Female as it was doing its stuff along this Jungle.

Near Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand.

 

The bar-headed goose can flap to heights of 23000 feet on its migration over the Himalaya.

This was probably the best sighting i ever had of Kalij Pheasant, both male and female together till date, a group 9 of them coming together at this waterhole near my village.

The black-throated bushtit Juvenile (Aegithalos concinnus) 11July, 2021 Longwood area, Shimla Olympus OMD EM1X 300f4Pro 1/60sec, f6.3, ISO 250

The Himalayan Monal, Lophophorus impejanus also known as the Impeyan Monal or Impeyan Pheasant or Danphe is a bird of genus Lophophorus of the pheasant family, Phasianidae, found in high Himalayas. It is the national bird of Nepal, where it is known as the Danfe, and the state bird of Uttarakhand, India. It is becoming very very rare this days.

 

It was our last day of our trip in this part of The Himalayas. The elusive bird was still an imagination 2 us. It was 5.40 in the morning. Sunrise was due in 10-15 min. It appeared before our car. Stayed there for next 40 min or so, gave ample time to shoot. The light was too bad for a "Wow" type shot. But yet we all r highly satisfied bcos none of our group saw the great Himalayan Monal before.

Order: Passerine

It was around -1 or -2 deg C, and I was lying flat on the cold road, paying attention to what Nitin bhai was shouting out from the other corner, giving me updates on the movement of this male Himalayan Monal. In about 8-10 mins of lying motionless on the ground, I saw the head pop up from the edge of the valley, on to the road. He walked straight to the middle of the road, and paused for a moment to check on me, and went straight up the other side of the mountain. We spent 2-3 days noticing the movement of this Monal family, and hence, could finally zero in on this crossing point of this magnificent bird, which is also called as the Emperor of Chopta. via 500px ift.tt/12mR9hO
