Jan 2015 eBirders of the Month

challenge-logo-2015Our apologies for the delay in announcing the January eBirders of the Month. There were two reasons for this: (1) preparations for the GBBC put everything else on hold, and (2) the nature of the challenge was such that we had to sift through each list by hand!

To mark the Asian Waterbird Census, the eBirding challenge for January was to upload at least 15 complete listsicon_tooltip from wetlands, broadly defined (including lists where a wetland was only part of a larger area covered).

Overall, during January, the number of complete, effort-based lists of at least 15 min duration was 3,737. In all, 595 birders uploaded 4,502 lists of all types from January, together accounting for over 103,000 observations.

Of these 595 birders,  29 people uploaded 15 or more eligible lists from wetlands. They are:

Anish Aravind
Anjana Hari
Arathy S. Kumar
Arya Vinod
Devi Ambika S.
Dhanesh Ayyappan
Dilan Mandanna
Dr. George PJ
Erle Brito
Ganeshwar SV
Gavin and Mal
Hari Kumar
Jaydev Mandal
Kiran More
Krishnamoorthy Muthirulan
Kulbhushansingh Suryawanshi
Mandar Bhagat
Manoj Karingamadathil
Mark Robbins
Premchand Reghuvaran
Ramit Singal
Ronit Dutta
Sagar Adhurya
Shah Jahan
Shivaprakash Adavanne
Somoyita Sur
Subin Sudhreendran
Surendhar Boobalan
TR Shankar Raman

Many congratulations to all of them!

One of these 29 was chosen using a computer-generated random number to receive a small gift, and that person is

Krishnamoorthy Muthirulan

who receives a copy of Zafar Futehally’s memoir: The Song of the Magpie Robin. (You can read a review here.)
