Bird Count India

May 19, 2022

Bird Count India is an informal partnership of organisations and groups interested in documenting and monitoring India’s birds.
The initiative encourages birdwatchers to upload their bird lists to eBird (ebird.org/india), a global platform for bird observations.
In India, the event was confined to Ladakh, J&K, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, northwest Bengal and Arunachal Pradesh.
Uttarakhand reported the highest number of bird species, at 293.
The maximum number of checklists (lists of birds seen and heard by birdwatchers), at 192, was uploaded from Jammu & Kashmir.
