About eBird India

India-outline-vulture-280The eBird India portal is designed for the use of birders and eBirders from India. Keep visiting for news and events regarding birding in India and for tips and tricks to make your eBirding more useful and rewarding.

The eBird India portal is managed by Bird Count India, a partnership of a large number of organizations and groups working to increase our collective understanding of the distribution, abundance, and population trends of Indian birds. We do this by encouraging birders to maintain complete birdlists and uploading them to eBird; by conducting periodic bird events and projects; by offering support and resources to birding groups conducting their own projects; and by putting together useful information on bird monitoring. Here is a list of our partners.

Please visit the Bird Count India website to see a more detailed description of our objectives, a listing of all our partners, and updates on bird documentation and monitoring in India.

If you have any comments or questions, or need help with using eBird or with a documentation or monitoring project, please Contact Us.
