ebirding-challenge-logo-800px-281x300

July is a bit cooler than before in most parts of the country, and the first winter migrants also start trickling in. Perhaps that’s why July tends to have a little more birding action than June? Here is the break-up of eBirding in India in July 2017 (with previous month in brackets).

Number of birders: 925 (870)
Number of lists (all types): 11,000 (7,200)
Number of observations: 1.57 lakh (1.27 lakh)

Gap-filling challenge

The gap-filling challenge for July was to upload a minimum of four eligible checklists from any one or more of the 382 Districts that were represented by less than 30 minutes of eBirding in all previous Julys. A total of 163 complete birdlists of 15 min or longer were uploaded from 46 of the 382 target Districts, by 55 birders.

Quick question – do the checklists for the monthly challenges have to be only from India? I had uploaded more that “31 no-X, complete checklists” in July, but some were outside the country…

I do understand that some of the challenges make sense only if seen under this filter (eg. brood parasitic cuckoos), but wanted to make sure about some of the more general monthly challenges.

Bird Count India

Hi Kadambari — yes the monthly challenges we run through Bird Count India are restricted to India lists. eBird central runs a global challenge, which is not restricted geographically. Thanks
