In this book, the author profiles over 150 species of birds, inviting readers from all walks of life to join him in uncovering some of the city's most precious avian wonders-be it birds that visit your garden, or those you see in the city's parks and woodlands; the huge rafts of wildfowl and other water-birds on the Jamuna and nearby water-bodies, or the mysterious flocks that arrive and depart during the year. Also of use to those interested is information on what each of these birds looks like, where and when they can be found, what they eat, whether or when they breed or visit Delhi, and more. The book also introduces readers to various birding areas in and around Delhi, and highlights the bird life found there. Familiar areas include the Yamuna, Okhla, Tughlaquabad, the Ridge, the Asola Sanctuary, Sultanpur National Park, Badhkal Lake, as well as some of Delhi's parks and green area: Lodhi Garens, Buddha Jayanti Park, Deer Park, Qudsia Gardens, and the National Zoological Park, to name a few. The 50 color plates in the text comprise photographs of birds encountered by the author in the course of his many birdwatching expeditions. While some photographs capture rare species, others of birds more familiar to us, are no less fascinating.
