Join the Bird Watchers

bngbirds

Pelicans, Egrets, Cormorants, Grey Wagtails are just some of the birds you’re likely to read about in the 10 year old Yahoo! Group bngbirds. This group is moderated by Dr. Krishna MB, an ex-researcher from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He has been a part of the bird-watching group in Bangalore since 1974, much before the rise of the Internet. At that time, his group members used to communicate about their bird watching outings via post cards. Interestingly, there was free software available for printing cards in 1993 with a very unique downloading condition. One had to send a picture postcard from one’s country to the author before one could download it

bngbirdsKrishna felt that stray information collected everyday is lost if not filed immediately. The same can be consolidated later for research papers. Therefore, he extended his passion for bird watching with others in an online group on One List, later known as e-groups, which was acquired by Yahoo! The group, 1200 members strong, not only discusses birds but also encourages information on wildlife and the ecology. Both academics and amateurs from India, UK, US, Iceland, Australia, Brazil and Egypt, in fact almost every birdwatcher who is likely to visit Bangalore is a part of this group.

The group goes out for bird watching every first and second Sunday of the month to Hebbal lake and Lal Bagh in Bangalore. The main objective for these outings is to teach kids about birds and de-stress many from week long jobs.

To know more about bird watching events and birds, join the Yahoo! Group bngbirds. If you want to share an interesting story of your Yahoo! Group, please send it to us at groups@yahoo-inc.com Stay tuned for our next coverage.

Our bird watchers and the societies should take much initiate to protect these wonderful creatures from the clutches of the evil forces who are trying to finish them for their selfish interest.

    Hello!
    i am staying in VileParle (East) Mumbai. In our Society compound there are many Ashoka trees .Recently I found that a pair of a bird ‘very different’ from any other birds on the said tree.Resembles like a peacock,their long wings are brown coloured,neck is peacock coloured ,tail is also long.their shape and size is double the size of a pigeon.
    If any bird watcher is interested may please contact me on 02226136067so that you can have a look and identify the name of the said bird.I am very anxious to know the name.
