A male Montague's Harrier on the hunt |
Another evening in Kutch, we saw nearly 40 of these birds flocking from the horizon towards the grasslands after the sun had set. There was absolutely no light for me to photograph them, so I sat and watched as they circled around and settled into the grass for the night, one by one. This was the first instance that I observed social behavior of this nature in any raptor.
