Hii!
Do you have old bird checklists of notes from before 2014?
We are currently undertaking a project to digitize historical bird data. These data will not only help us improve the accuracy of bird population assessments but will also support broader conservation initiatives.
If you have old bird data, reach out to us on contact@stateofindiasbirds.in.

Today is #WorldParrotDay - the day to create awareness around threats and conservation concerns for Parrots and Parakeets.

SPECIES ACCUMULATION CURVE bar chart is a cumulative curve and against a particular year it plots the number of species seen until that year (and not of that year alone!)

HEATMAP gives you an idea of the proportion of checklists within grids in your chosen geography. It shows the boundary of the area covered by square grids of 5 x 5 km and each grid has a colour density proportional to the number of checklists in that grid.

Check out these two new updates in the MYNA reports. 1. Heatmaps 2. Species accumulation trend over the years
Two new features are *live* on the MYNA tool, and these details will be part of the MYNA reports that you generate from now on!
What are Heatmaps and Accumulation curves?

For #ToyotaThursday, here's the #27 Team Sard Toyota Supra GT-LM, driven by Mauro Martini, Jeff Krosnoff and Marco Apicella at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995. The #27 ran as high as 7th during the race & finally finished 14th overall.

Look at this map. Look at it! This is what Amur Falcons do! Their migration is jaw-dropping. You do not want to miss Suresh Kumar's @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social webinar next week! birdsoftheworld.org/bow/news/amu...
Oh wow, thanks!
Reading up about it.
Yes, that'd be nice! Thank you.
A green background, with some green leaves, and two birds prched on them. The birds are scaly breasted munias - reddish brown coloured upper parts, black scaly pattern on the white under parts, triangular black beak.
Scaly-breasted Munias (புள்ளிச் சில்லைகள்).
Among the Munias, this species seems to have adopted well to urban habitation - I commonly see them nest in balconies and behind external units of split ACs.

A stocky big bird - the Eurasian Curlew, with greenish legs, mottled brown neck and body, and a downward curved beak walking on a mossy, marshy land at the edge of the water.
Eurasian Whimbrel (கோட்டான்), from Pazhaverkadu, earlier this year.
They breed in Northen parts of Asia and Europe, and visit the coastal Africa, Asia and Australia in winters.

The first image was early in the morning when we started birding, and the next one was when we were returning a couple of hours later.
Oh interesting! Yes, possible that abundance of food, and abundance of time to gobble up more made them bulk up!
A small bird with yellow head and upperparts and white coloured belly, and a white coloured ring around the eye - an Indian White-eye. The almost roundish bird is perched on a clear branch without leaves, but two round green fruits of the Paper-mulberry tree.
Indian White-eye (வெள்ளைக்கண்ணி).
These tiny birds are always a pleasure to watch and photograph.

A peregrine falcon is eating a pigeon, while perched on a metal pylon tower, used for high tension electric cables. The falcon is holding the pigeon which it hunted, in its talons.

Another day, another pigeon kill.
But, the same hunter!

Hi!
Today's Marketing of Technology class was on "Wearable Tech"
I started by saying smoking is injurious to health.
Then showed this pivotal "wearable tech" from which you can draw a straight line to Fitbit & Garmin.
You see, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
Tadao Kashiyo had an idea.

Ah, that sucks... traveling?
Loved the textures of the bark of the tree and the back of this Common Tailorbird (தையல் சிட்டு).
