Bangalore BirdRace

December 21st, 2006

Plans are underway to hold the first ever “Bangalore BirdRace” on February 11th, 2007, the second Sunday of the month. The “Bangalore BirdRace” will be fifth in the series of IndiaBirdRaces that started with a bang in Hyderabad on November 26, 2006. Sponsored by HSBC, the BirdRaces in major cites are being co-ordinated by Sunjoy Monga and his team from Mumbai. For details on these BirdRaces please visit http://www.indiabirdraces.com.

Concept:Each team will consist of 04 (four) persons (no less, no more, unless specially intimated to us) and each team must include a good birder who is familiar with the site’s/region’s avifauna. There will be a Bird-Name for each team.

You are free to constitute your own team but must ensure at least one of you is a proficient birder, familiar with the region’s birdlife, and who can be the team captain.

There is no Registration Fee for any of the IndiaBirdRaces.
Each Team will be provided with a Bird Logbook (consisting of a checklist of all species of birds recorded within the geographical limits of the concerned city’s BirdRace) with appropriately marked columns for reporting observations. The LogBook contains a detail listing of all species of birds recorded in this region during the past 20 years. In case you happen to see any species not on this list, please include the same in the space provided.

This is the first announcement regarding the Bangalore BirdRace, and more details on the exciting event will be posted-out soon. We plan to begin registration of interested participants by the first week of January 2007.

In organizing this event, we would like birdwatching enthusiasts in Bangalore – from absolute beginners to experienced birders to come together during this unique event. This is part of a continuing effort to make birdwatching enjoyable, exciting and adventurous in Bangalore.

Cheers,

Subbu.
(on behalf of Bangalore BirdRace Team)
