Himalayan Treepie
Dendrocitta formosae

Field Notes
Description:
Long tailed-crow-like bird.
Habitat:
I stayed at a homestay at Mukteshwar, a sleepy tourist spot above Nainital, India. The land lady had put out many bird feeders. This bird seemed to be a regular and knew when the table was replenished.
Notes:
The area had many tall fruit trees and we ate many fruits (plums, peaches, apricots) that the birds had pecked and discarded. I wonder if the birds called it feeding the humans. There is a belief here that fruits pecked and dropped by the birds are the sweetest...I can attest to that.
