Observation details
190304_15_16_17. Grandalas feeding buckthorn plus flight calls. dispersed flock 52birds. Bg. river Dispersed flock, of at least 52 birds, but hanging about together. Perhaps, brought down to a low elevation of 2660m asl here due to heavy snow and blizzard-like conditions in the area. Feeding on buckthorn berries by the roadside and breaking to sip on ice-cold water dripping from a snow-covered rocks and boulders. 100% snow-cover, 3-4 feet in some areas. At 17h30, during a slight respite from an all-day long snow shower. Recording birds while feeding and when they would fly back and forth in twos's and three's to and from the buckthorn bushes. Not very vocal. Very confiding birds, could've easily picked up one or two and tucked 'em into my pockets (just joking!). Need to confirm exact count of males & females.
