Himalayas - 275 (Myophonus caeruleus)

Himalayas - 275 ...

Sentinel on duty ...
sitting on vantage
point ... nearly
8000 ft in Himalayas
... on the edge of the
rich forest known to
have Leopards and
Himalayan Black Bear ...

... overlooking
a precipitous drop
with resplendent slope
reaching a deep valley ...

One of my all time
favorite crooner with
a mesmerizing
... fabulous whistle

Listen to him singing
in a small video-clip done
at day-break ...

Terrific capture of a stunning bird at an exotic location!!! The mention of big cat and the bears gives me the shivers!!! Take care both of you!!!! Hope you do not venture too much distance from your vehicle!!! I would prefer to have a bear spray at hand!!!!
