May 2016 eBirders of the Month

ebirding challenge logo 800pxMay saw more birding activity than is usual in this hot time of the year. The Endemic Bird Day and associated events contributed to this, but birders have also been active during other parts of the month.

Here is a break-up of eBirding in India in May (with previous month in brackets).

Number of birders: 678 (698)
Number of lists (all types): 6,100 (6,000)
Number of lists (complete, 15min or longer): 5,100 (5,155)
Number of observations: 1.11 lakh (1.15 lakh)

The challenge for May was to upload at least 20 complete, no-X lists of 15 min duration or longer during the month. Of the 678 eBirders in May, 53 met or exceeded the target for the month. They are (as always, excluding group accounts):

Of all the no-X, complete, >15min lists contributed by these 53, one birdlist with uploaded rich media was chosen using a computer-generated random number. The person who uploaded that list receives a small gift. The list so chosen is linked here, and the eBirder is Garima Bhatia who receives a copy of Bird Sense: What it’s Like to be a Bird by Tim Birkhead. (You can read a review here, and there is a website devoted to the book too.)
