Dear member,

For many, wildlife starts and ends at birds. The colorful creatures fascinate us and stimulate our curiosities. This edition of the Beam we asked Sankarshan Kini, an amateur birder, to pen down his first birding experience at Ranthambhore. This piece is sure to entertain the birder in you.

Apart from our regular features, we also have a guest article by Dr. Punam Bijlani who has been patronizing our organization since the last couple of years and has been with us to Ranthambhore and Bandhavgarh. She writes about her experiences at Ranthambhore.
