The Environmental Information, Awareness, Capacity Building and Livelihood Programme (EIACP) Programme Centre (PC), Resource Partner (RP) on Avian Ecology at the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS-EIACP) in association with Maharashtra Pakshimitra Sanghatana and Bird Count India is celebrating the birth anniversary of Dr. Sálim Ali (12 Nov) and birthday of Shri Maruti Chitampalli (5 Nov) by conducting a Sálim Ali Bird Count across India and observing Pakshi Saptah (Bird Week) in Maharashtra.
Both events will be celebrated for 8 days 5–12 November.
November is also a fascinating time of the year for bird enthusiasts, especially with the arrival of winter migrants. As the land begins to cool, a multitude of avian visitors make their way to the Indian subcontinent. Conducting bird counts during this significant period offers valuable insights into the status of both winter migrants and resident birds.
