Bird migration is one of the great wonders of the natural world. Migration is a huge feat of endurance requiring great strength and stamina. However, today birds face additional threats caused by human activity. Hungry, exhausted birds may arrive at a stopover site, only to find that it has been destroyed by farming or urbanisation. Every year, millions of birds are illegally killed by hunters, or collide with man-made structures such as powerlines. Climate change is causing habitats to shift or disappear.

Salem Ornithological Foundation has planned to conduct bird watching field trips in the Shevaroy hills of the Eastern Ghats and the wetlands present in the foothills on 10th and 11th of October 2020. The trip will be led by one our lead birders and educators, Ms Angeline Mano. All necessary COVID-19 precautions issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu will be strictly followed.
