Such a long tail is defying gravity.

PIN TAIL DUCK

2007-07-01T20:25:00.000-07:00

The forest officer told me the name, and surprisingly i remembered it. Normally i forget the very next minute.

A BLUE DASH OF ELEGANCE

2007-06-21T20:47:00.000-07:00

How elegant !! Tall chick long legs.
And what is this dash of blue ?
i don't know how colours are decided, looks like some one has smeared a little blue on the bird

These delicate creatures give me hope that still nothing seriously has gone wrong with this world, we have time, but it is fast running out.

YELLOW BIRD

2007-06-14T22:50:00.000-07:00

This is what i see first, very dark, most of the time luck is not on my side. i don't know the name of this bird.
Show me your face, please show me your face
i beg and plead
for god's sake please show me your FACE !

They fly away and go sit somewhere far, i keep following them.
Its difficult in the wild, my mind on so many things, have to watch out for snakes, can't keep looking up all the time.

Most of the time i am under a tree and i hear the sounds of hundreds of birds like an unruly class room without a teacher, but i don't spot a single bird.
Where are you people ? Where are you hiding ?

Ahaa ! This is how you look !
Hellow ! Good morning !
Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you.... thank you.
i am filled with gratitude.
Very early in the morning is the best time. Most of the time i am stunned when i see such colours and forget to take pictures.

IS IT LOVE

DARTER - SNAKE BIRD

2007-05-26T19:26:00.000-07:00

This is the only picture i have of the Darter in flight, they are so fast that by the time i turn my camera they are gone.

Here The Darter is showing off its elegance to a painted stork,
i know i know you are elegant, you don't have to show off.
