June 2017 eBirders of the Month
With the monsoon bringing a welcome break from the summer heat in some parts of the country, June is a good time to be out and about -- for example looking for breeding birds. Here is the break-up of eBirding in India in June 2017 (with previous month in brackets)....
May 2017 eBirders of the Month
The summer doldrums have set in, and birders are not venturing out as much as we did in the winter months. There are still good reasons to be out birding, though! Here is the break-up of eBirding in India in May (with previous month in brackets). Number of birders:...

March 2017 eBirders of the Month
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...
