Just About Everything

White-bellied blue flycatcher A very happy new year 2018! May this new year bring you love, joy, good health,  more wisdom, peace, magic, the courage to speak your truth, to hold your head high, and see your dreams fulfilled. Just like our feathered friends, wouldn't it be nice to free ourselves of worry and fear and soar higher and higher.... I am sharing pictures of these beautiful birds that are endemic to India. Out of 1266 species of birds in India, 61 are endemic to India (from wikipedia).These pictures are courtesy Soma Jha.
