Share Via: Settle for the easy, or chase the dream? Lessons from the desk of an adman, birder and photographer. As I tip-toed through the underbrush in the Aravallis in search of the elusive Indian Pitta, that jewel of the Indian forests, a feathered kaleidoscope of nine colors (and hence called the Navrang in many Indian languages), I had an epiphany of sorts. I had been chasing the Pitta for close to an hour, hearing its distinctive two-note whistle in the undergrowth, scanning every rock, every shaded patch where the bird was likely to be.

Wildlife at enchanting Kanha | A photologue Whenever i think of Kanha, its always the brilliant landscapes soaked in the winter mist and golden light that comes to my mind.

Many of Austin’s top music destinations remain shuttered for now: iconic South Austin haunts the Continental Club and Saxon Pub, to Red River anchors the Mohawk and Cheer Up Charlies, to Congress Avenue jazz joint the Elephant Room, to University of Texas campus haven Cactus Cafe. Larger rooms such as ACL Live and the Paramount Theatre recently began presenting a handful of limited-capacity shows. ....
Tangents Rostratula benghalensis or Greater Painted Snipe, Bangladesh. Photo: Ihtisham kabir In 1758, the Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus introduced a naming system for living organisms. It was standardized by scientists worldwide, giving us scientific names for species, The Linnaean system arose from the need to uniquely identify each species and categorize or classify living beings into groups. The common name of a bird may change from country to country, but its Linnaean name remains the same. Thus, a Black-necked Stork in Bangladesh is a Jabiru in Australia but a Jabiru in Brazil is an entirely different bird. There is no confusion over their Linnaean names, however. The Black-necked Stork is Ephippyorhinchus asiatica whereas the (Brazilian) Jabiru is Jabiru mycteria – and that holds true everywhere. ....
