GBBC and Campus Bird Count announcement (13-16 Feb)

[BirdCount India]

Dear birding friends,

Here is the announcement for the Great Backyard Bird Count and Campus Bird Count. Please help by distributing widely!
---------------------------------

The Great Backyard Bird Count is a global birdwatching event in which India has a very strong presence. Last year, over 1,000 birders reported over 800 species from India during the GBBC.

This year the dates are 13-16 Feb 2015. We invite one and all to participate and show your love for birds and birding. All it takes is to go birding for at least 15 min during 13-16 Feb, and upload a complete list (with counts) of the species you see to www.eBird.org. You can repeat this as often as you like, at the same or different locations. If you can, bring along a non-birder with you and introduce him or her to the wonderful world of birds! More information is here:

In addition, if you live or work on a campus of any description, please consider joining the Campus Bird Count, a sub-event of the GBBC. More than 70 campuses (schools, colleges, universities and more) and signed up so far - do join in and ask your friends to do so too! More about the Campus Bird Count is here:
