Birds of the Indian Hills

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Himalayan birds inhabit what is perhaps the most wonderful tract of country in the world. The Himalayas are not so much a chain of mountains as a mountainous country some eighty miles broad and several hundred long-a country composed entirely of mountains and valleys with no large plains or broad plateaux. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The avifauna of the Himalayas is a large one. It includes birds found throughout the range birds confined to the eastern or western portions birds resident all through the year birds that are mere seasonal visitors birds found only at high elevations birds confined to the lower hills birds abundant everywhere birds nowhere common.</span></p>
