OUR LIFE-LIST OF BIRDS CLICKED TILL DATE: 838
For both me and Supriya, a bird species will enter this life list only if we manage to click it with our camera. We have of-course seen many more birds, but we don't count it as a lifer unless we have a shot which we can ID. Also, our objective is not to aggressively increase this list. If that was the case then we wouldn't be going on casual vacations so much. I don't deny that we don't like lifers, who wouldn't like it, but then we don't want to make our life revolve around it. We want to live and enjoy our life, we want to see and drive to new locations and in the process if we see some birds, we are more than happy.
Besides I believe in one more thing, to see 2000 bird species of the world gives me more satisfaction than seeing 1000 bird species of India, although the latter is a tougher achievement. So let's not make birding a race to a number. It spoils the fun associated with it. At the end we all know whose life is better (Jack Black or Owen Wilson), if you know what I mean.
