"You can know the names of a bird in all languages of the world,but when you are finished ,
You will know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird.....
So let`s look at the bird and see what it`s doing --that`s what counts.
I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."

-Nobel Laureate Richard P Feynman(1918-1988)

Ernakulam Bird Atlas-Invitation

Dear friends,
Greetings from CNHS,
As you know, we are doing the Ernakulam Bird Atlas project from  July onwards.Here is the schedule:-
Bird Atlas surveys shall be done twice a year.
  • July 16th – September 13th [60 days, 9 weekends]
  • January 16th – March 15th  [60 days, 9 weekends]

We have a total of more than 200 Sub Cells to cover by doing birding for a period of one hour in each sub cell. We will do this exercise twice as per the schedule above...This is a prestigious project for all of us bird lovers.We need the might of all the  birdwatchers and bird photographers in Kerala to complete this. Of course there is some protocols and methods to be followed to do this.

So we are holding a preliminary meeting of all birders at 10.30 am 3rd July 2016 at the Mangalavanam Sanctuary for discussing the way to achieve our goal.

We would request you to participate in the meeting and join our hands in this endevour...
