An Indian Courser in flight! - a photo on Flickriver

            This is a beautiful ground bird found in small groups as they forage for insects in dry open countryside. They frequent those areas where the grass is smaller than their height so that it doesn't block their view of the surroundings. I like their colors which is quite interesting.

The grasslands we visited had a good population of them. They were quite out in the open foraging on the ground. This is not the season of raptors yet, so guess they are quite comfortable exposing themselves in short grass. Once the winter sets, the area gets several raptor visitors - all of which prey on this bird. 

Thanks in advance for your wonderful feedback and likes.
