This work serves as a comprehensive guide to the bird species found in the mountainous regions of India, specifically focusing on the Himalayas and other hill stations. Dewar’s text aims to help readers, including non-ornithologists, identify and understand the diverse avifauna of these unique habitats, highlighting key species that can be observed in the area. The opening of the book introduces the rich avifauna of the Himalayas, emphasizing the variety and distinctiveness of the birds that inhabit this mountainous region. Dewar explains his targeted approach in describing only those species likely to be encountered regularly during the summer at elevations between 5,000 and 7,000 feet. He discusses the dramatic change in landscape—from the flat plains of India to the towering peaks of the Himalayas—resulting in a rich biodiversity that varies significantly with altitude. Dewar’s descriptions paint a vivid picture of the geography and conditions that define the habitats of Himalayan birds, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of their characteristics and behaviors in the subsequent sections.
