    Default Carrier of Monsoon----Jacobin Cuckoo

    The "Jacobin Cuckoo" is also known as Pied Crested Cuckoo or Pied Cuckoo. The glimpse of this bird is observed in Late Summer because it is partially migratory in India and it has been considered a harbinger of the monsoon rains due to the timing of its arrival. It is told that this cuckoo waits for rains to quench its thirst after long dry summer. Here it is a snap of juvenile Jacobin.

    Nice to see this. Some more brightness would be good. The lower branch has broken off and created another triangle. If it would have had some leaves then the scene would have got filled away. Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers,
