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.

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.

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.

Basket stinkhorn or Bridal veil mushroom, at Bangalore.
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.

Is it an ant? Is it a mantis?
Say hello to "Asian ant mantis"!
It's a small mantis species, the young of which, mimic black ants to avoid being eaten!
Clicked during today's morning walk at Puzhuthivakkam Lake, Chennai.

This Duet AI for Google Sheets is pretty d0pe!
The prompt I used was "Checklist of Chennai Birds", and it created this template with many species already filled in!
