Here are some videos of the local fauna that I thought I'd toss on the blog. They were made in Dharamshala so they are not from today, but being a somewhat uneventful day, this entry will have some extra space.
Enjoy! I will post the day's happenings tomorrow.
Also, I found out that we are around 5500 feet above the plains (visible in previous pictures from our balcony)!
These monkeys were on the roof-tops below our balcony in Dharamshala. Notice the dog in the upper right who is very excited about them!
This eagle must have had a six + foot wing-span. You can get an idea of his size when he is visited by a crow down this wire from him.
