I know this board focuses on local birds, but thought some of you might like to know what's flying around half a world away. On a purely business trip last week to Chennai (Madras), India, I saw the following birds in spare moments. This was in a highly urban area of nearly 20 million people, with a half-day excursion south to coastal Mamallapuram.
