Yellow billed Chough

Yellow-billed Chough, as seen at the source of the Ganga or Ganges river, at Gaumukh, Uttarakhand, India. One can see the peak of Mt. Shivling in the background, at sunrise!

The bird's leg is not injured - it is just a little frozen in the cold morning air, and is stretching its legs to get the day started!
