Another marvelous Ranthambore sighting, this one and its mate froze instead of flushing allowing us not only a great view but also a great photo.

I just love birds with earth tones. Somehow their lack of vibrant colors they manage to compensate, not sure if I'm making sense. Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

  I agree, Ferdy. The earth tones lend them a natural beauty without being flashy. The same goes for butterflies. Posted 6 years ago

  I agree as well, and the famous American nature writer, Peter Mathiessen actually wrote about this in his book about shorebirds, The Wind Birds. Posted 6 years ago
