A Bird Calendar for Northern India

The work is organized as a month-by-month naturalist calendar that records the seasonal life of birds across the northern plains, describing habitat changes, migrations, breeding cycles and common vocalizations. Each monthly entry combines field observations of species abundance and behavior with notes on weather, crop and human activities that affect avifauna. Migratory patterns, nesting periods, feeding habits and interactions with wetlands, fields and villages are traced through the year. Practical details on birdcalls and identification supplement anecdotal sketches, and the volume concludes with a glossary and index to assist readers.
