Ponds, Canals and Countryside (प्रकृति की गोद में)

I am no Henry David Thoreau but every pond of Haryana is a Walden Pond. There is no Ganga in Haryana, but every water irrigation channel is as sacred as the holy river to me. Nature dresses and undresses my countryside. Every outing is a new illustrated chapter of live birds. My aim is to write my experiences as a birdwatcher's journey in his neighbourhood. And this should be true for other states as well.

Some images by Surat Singhji Poonia from Tal Chhapar

This is a great documentation by Pooniajia. Papa Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse wets his specially modified belly feathers in water, comes back to the nest and both chicks sucks water from the feathers. April 2010.
