birds that eat fishies

I love my summer job. In short, I go birdwatching every day when I'm in the field. Technically, I'm doing habitat studies, population counts, and whatnot. I get to bum around a supercool Indian village, looking for birds to count.

In this particular village, some of the painted storks actually nest in the village itself, while most of the other water birds will take up roost outside of the village in the sanctuary proper. It's really fascinating to see these big water birds hanging out on the roofs.

Enough biology talk, let me introduce you to my friends:
