In Pursuit of Birdiness

The Flight of birds has always fascinated me. Their glides, hovers, the dips, the flaps and then, all of a sudden they disappear into thin air!

I was not aware of Birding/ Bird Watching and that is pursued as a hobby/passion till late 2012. Though now when I look back, I think I have done it some way or the other, but only with one bird, that’s The Eagle. Eagle is my most favorite bird. I have a great fascination for them and feel they are closely attached to my inner growth, though I never had a clue that there are so many different species of Eagles in the world back then.

All of a sudden my world changed, my ears became super sharp only with respect to Bird calls though ( I still do not properly hear what my hubby says across the table ;), My eyes became extremely sharp (eagle eyes!!!) am able to detect a slight movement of even the tiny birds like Sunbirds and Prinias in my backyard, and am able to tell the names and even differentiate the sub species too by its colour and features.  

But how did all this happen? For that I need to travel back the memory lane and see my relationship with birds if at all there was one!

While Now, here in my backyard the Prinias are orchestrating  some melodious symphonies!!!

Flashback in my next post :)

Till then Goodbye, and I have...

Miles to Fly….. :)
