Learning Nature-I

Neel and me watching birds when we have leisure morning even afternoon. We observed our backyard birds through our windows and recorded as much as information. This practice of bird watching is now a regular habitat of Neel. Now he can able to identify common birds around our home at Barpeta, Dhemaji, and  Guwahati. Neel is now keeping one daily register to keep recorded all the information of birds as per my guidance.  

Neel and Mama(uncle) verify bird's name over the internet
