⇧ ⇩ Here are some of the pictures of birds I took on my trip to India in February/March, 1999.
The Keoladeo National Park bird sanctuary was quite impressive. Keoladeo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The number of birds there is astounding. The snake-bird and the stork are two examples from that sanctuary.
