September sees more of a transition in our birdlife, a transition that starts in July and continues on to November -- with more and more species and individuals of migrant birds seeking their winter home in India. Accordingly, September usually sees an uptick in...
It has been raining over much of the country in August. Many resident birds are in the late stages of breeding, and fledglings and juveniles are quite common to see: a great time for birding! Here is the break-up of eBirding in India in Aug 2017 (with previous...

This announcement is much later than normal. We ordinarily post the results of the previous month's challenge on the 6th of the following month. This time there was a delay in obtaining the raw eBird data, hence the delay in announcing the results of the March 2017...
To begin with, our apologies for the late announcement, but there has been so much to do during and after the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), that we are a bit behind in several things. eBirding activity in February tends to be particularly high because of the...
