Hi, I have uploaded an 'author' bibliography of South Asian Ornithology (1713–2022) as a 14 MB PDF (1418 pp.) on www.indianbirds.in, under the LINKS tab. It is entitled: Author bibliography of South Asian Ornithology (1 ed.). [https://indianbirds.in/pdfs/Pittie_BibliographySouthAsianOrnithology1713%E2%80%932022_14032022_Small.pdf] Given its size (c. 8 million characters), it is natural that errors have crept in. In compiling it, my aim has been to preserve, and present, as much as possible, the published record of South Asian Ornithology. Since 2011, this database, searchable with keywords, has existed at the website URL: www.southasiaornith.in. I update it almost daily; ornithologists have found it beneficial to their work. In presenting it now, in this PDF, I have one motive — to make it as accurate as possible. This can be done by you, as you peruse it, either casually, or by going directly to your name. If you come across mistakes, please e-mail me the emendations to aasheesh.pittie@gmail.com. In subsequent editions, I will upload corrected versions. This is still a work in progress. Simultaneously, I am compiling a companion work that is tentatively titled, ‘A bibliography of biographies from South Asian Ornithology’, which will hold short biographies of ornithologists who have passed on, followed by a list of references that are biographical in nature, e.g., obituaries, appreciations, etc. It lists all the authors that find place in this document that is in front of you. My wish is to add the date of birth of every author in that list. But such a task can only be done by you. I hope to bring it to you before the end of March 2022. I seek your help. Kindly share widely. Aasheesh Pittie

Greetings OE Partners & Friends, I am writing to make a community announcement and to request your help in support of an initiative for the critically-endangered White-bellied Heron, the second largest heron species in the world, whose last and final population stronghold remains in Bhutan and the Eastern Himalayas. With fewer than 60 known individuals on the planet, the survival of this species lies in the balance as it sits on the verge of extinction. I have worked on Black-necked crane and White-bellied heron conservation in Bhutan for almost 5 years with an environmental conservation organization called the Royal Society for Protection of Nature (RSPN). They have been dedicated in their work for avian conservation for 30+ years. And yet, In short, they really need some help supporting their efforts for White-bellied Herons. I am hopeful that the online community of ornithologists can provide some support, no matter the amount. I invite you to take a moment from your day to visit and consider supporting: https://www.gofundme.com/save-the-heron-support-a-kingdom If you cannot offer support at this time, would you please consider sharing this link within your personal or professional networks? Thank you for your consideration and help! Kind regards, David
