Daily photos 3rd year

At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my THIRD year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Earlier galleries: First year - Second year - Critiques welcome!

  • 3rd year Pic 323 - Sep 05 2011 <span style="color:yellow"> Tigress - T17</span> Ranthambhore Natonal Park Please see picture No 322 which shows this Tigress coming out of the bushes. As explained in the earlier pic the pic was taken from an open vehicle at a distance of less than 90 feet. <span style="color:cyan">Best seen in bigger size</span>
  • 3rd year Pic 322 - Sep 05 2011 <span style="color:yellow">Tiger crossing</span> Ranthambhore Natonal Park During a ride in Ranthambhore National Park we had watched this Tigress, T17, sleeping near the lake. When she got up the driver of our Maruti Gypsy (an open Jeep type vehicle you can see at the far end) drove off and waited at the end of the road she would take. He knew she'd come out and cross over to another road. We waited for 3-4 minutes and sure enough she emerged and crossed us diagonally at a distance of about 100 feet! What was interesting was that the people beyond the entrance to the park were unaware of her presence! I've taken the liberty of posting two pictures today. The other one shows T17 in the middle of the road. Hope you enjoy both the pictures. <span style="color:cyan">Best seen in bigger size</span> <span style="color:Red">Added on 6th Sept.</span> Kara and Ed, The Tigress was inside Ranthambhore National park. The doors are closed soon as a vehicle enters the park but as it was closing time they were open for the Gypsies to exit.

They are gregarious birds that forage in small groups of six to ten birds, a habit that has given them the popular name of Seven Sisters or Saath bhai in Hindi with cognates in other regional languages which means "seven brothers". The Jungle Babbler is a common resident breeding bird in most parts of the Indian Subcontinent and is often seen in gardens within large cities as well as in forested areas. In the past, the Orange-billed Babbler, Turdoides rufescens, of Sri Lanka was considered to be a race of this babbler, but is elevated to a species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_Babbler
  • 3rd year Pic 320 - Sep 02 2011 <span style="color:yellow">Rose-ringed Parakeet</span> Khem Vilas, Ranthambhore <span style="color:cyan">Best seen in bigger size</span> <span style="color:cyan">More pictures at </span><br> http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Ranthambhore/RT-June-2011/17444320_Qps9C3 Rose-ringed parakeets (Psittacula krameri) are popular as pets. They measure on average 40 cm (16 in) in length including the tail feathers. Their average single wing length is about 15-17.5 cm (5.9-6.9 in). The tail accounts for a large portion of their total length. This non-migrating species is one of few parrot species that have successfully adapted to living in 'disturbed habitats', and in that way withstood the onslaught of urbanisation and deforestation. In the wild, this is a noisy species with an unmistakable squawking call. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose-ringed_Parakeet

The genus ranges across Africa and Asia, as well as a number of islands. A few species are migratory, but the majority are resident. The most telling characteristic of the genus is the long tail streamers of the males of many species. In addition to the long tails the males and females are sexually dimorphic and have rufous, black and white plumage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_flycatcher

Sambar primarily live in woodland and feed on a wide variety of vegetation, including grasses, foliage, browse, fruit, and water plants, depending on the local habitat.[3] They also consume a great variety of shrubs and trees. They are a favourite prey item for tigers and Asiatic lions. Anecdotally, the tiger is said to mimic the call of the sambar to deceive it while hunting. They also can be taken by crocodiles, mostly the sympatric mugger crocodiles. Leopards and dholes will take young or sickly deer. Sambar have been seen congregating in large herds in protected areas such as national parks and reserves in India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambar_(deer) <span style="color:red">Thank you all for your comments on diving Drongo yesterday. </span>
  • 3rd year Pic 311 - Aug 24 2011 <span style="color:yellow">Drongo dive </span> Khem Vilas, Ranthambhore The Drongo was diving to catch a worm or a small fish. These insectivorous birds are found in usually open forests or bush. Most are black or dark grey in colour, sometimes with metallic tints. They have long forked tails, and some Asian species have elaborate tail decorations. They have short legs and sit very upright whilst perched, like a shrike. Racket-tailed Drongos are the mimicry artists among birds. They can mimic the sound of other birds and some animals. They flycatch or take prey from the ground. Two to four eggs are laid in a nest high in a tree. These are aggressive and fearless birds, given their small size, and drongos will attack much larger species if their nest or young are threatened. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drongo <span style="color:red">Thank you all for your comments on my Drongo series yesterday! </span>
