Those aren't birds...those are giant bats.

I've said it before and I'll likely say it at least a few more times...

...India...is...awesome.

On Janpath, between the Claridge Hotel circle and Akbar Road, you'll find large trees bearing fruit lining the roadway. Amidst the hundreds of branches you'll see thousands of bats hanging upside down, clinging to those branches with their feet. There are thousands and by June thousands more or so we're told. The bats flock to Delhi in the warmer months, specifically this stretch of Janpath. We've stopped along the road and we've watched these bats...these rather large brown bats, swoop from tree to tree. Amazing. One of the best parts...the acrid smell of guano is nearly indetectable over the "usual" scent of Delhi.

In the immortal words of Indiana Jones..."Those aren't birds - those are giant bats." Awesome, Indiana...awesome.

Delhi...OUT!!!!
