The annual Great Backyard Bird Count(GBBC) was recording 251 bird species across Karnataka.
The first GBBC was launched in the US in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society to create real-time data on wild birds.
The importance of the event is that it helps the Scientists better understand the global bird population before one of their annual migrations.
Birders will conduct walks, online talks, and other awareness activities for the general public.
