It’s March, the month in which harsh sounds of the city are mellowed by sweet and often shrill calls of birds! For the past few days here in Jaipur, India, I’ve been hearing the lovely call of a Coppersmith Barbet (Megalaima haemacephala) coming in from the window. Today afternoon when the call was specially loud,  I went out on the terrace with my camera and after some effort, saw the bird sitting on a nearby Beil tree and took a quick pic. Always a delightful bird to see!
