  2. Thank you for creating https://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/amit/birds/

    It was a delight for an amateur bird-watcher like me to stumble across this web-page. It satisfied my initial curiosities regarding birds i encountered in the near by park. It has piqued my interest and i feel i am on the right track towards cultivating a new hobby.

    Although I hope there was a discussion forum, a comments page or a society for people like us to exchange more information.

    Cheers!
