The primary goal of this event is to establish a dedicated annual bird count for Uttarakhand, bringing communities together to celebrate the state’s rich birdlife. This first edition of the event offers an exciting opportunity to explore the picturesque landscapes of Uttarakhand and observe its beautiful birdlife across plains, hills, Terai, and high mountains.
Mid-November is an interesting time for birds in the region, as altitudinal migrants descend to lower elevations and long-distance migrants arrive from far-off lands, joining resident species who are adapting to the presence of these new neighbours. By recording your bird observations, you’ll contribute important data on the distribution of these species. Your records will help us track changes over time and better understand how climate change is impacting Uttarakhand’s bird diversity.
Note: Please upload all your lists by 22 November, 2024.
This count is organised by birders from Uttarakhand, Uttarakhand Forest Department, Chakhuli (Kalagarh Tiger Reserve), Corbett Gram Vikas Samiti (Kaladhungi), Doon Nature Walks (Dehradun), Epic Trails India (Ramnagar), Himalayan Ark (Munsiari), India’s Nature (Munsiari), Jabarkhet Nature Reserve (Mussoorie), Jeevan Deep Samiti (Kalagarh Tiger Reserve), MAD by BTD (Make a Difference by Being the Difference, Dehradun), Nature’s Buddy (Dehradun), Nature Science Initiative (Dehradun), Titli Trust (Dehradun), in collaboration with Bird Count India.
