Speaker: Sylvia Halkin: Professor Emeritus CCSU Birds I’ve Watched in India
I’ll tell you about the behavior and ecology of some wonderful Indian birds. Soaring groups of scavenging Black Kites, Painted Storks with day–glo pink feathers in their wings, standing in the river by the Taj Mahal, Blue Whistling–Thrush a lapis jewel in a darjeeling tea plantation, glimpses of huge Gray–headed Swamphens in water hyacinth beds in Kerala waterways, calling Koels easier heard than seen, and more. I’ll demonstrate field guide capacities of regional Merlin Bird Packs, and when to guess a bird might have “magpie” in its name. |
