Spring-Summer - 289 (Megalaima zeylanica)

Spring-Summer - 289

Perched in the shaded
part of the crown
of a tall Acacia ...

Their loud calls
start filling
up the ambiance
...
with the onset of
Spring ...
... and continue
throughout summer

In forested areas
as well as urban
gardens ...

This image was
captured in the
forest of Keoladeo
... but we have them
visiting our
Balcony waterbowl
regularly ... in Delhi

Watch this impressive
vocalist calling
in a video-clip ... where
his partner is calling
in the bg
... as well ...
