Birds of Himalaya and Kashmir

The Object of this book is to enable people interested in birds to identity those they meet with while walking in the hill stations of the Himalayas and stations of the Himalayas and Kashmir and those they see in the Kashmir valley. The birds dealt with are the ones commonly seen IN Summer at such places. As nine out of ten species of hill birds move to lower levels in winter, the bird population of a hill station in winter differs from that in summer. The scope of this book includes birds seen in winter at the various hill stations, and those found in summer only at lower elevations than 5000 feet above the sea-level or higher altitudes than 7500, its bulk would have been considerably increased.
