Hi CoBirders,
We have had a great response by many birders adopting Colorado routes for
the Nor. Am. Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), including many observers who are
new to the project. There are only 18 vacant CO routes still without an
assigned observer. I've pasted a list of the vacant routes below with their
county locations. It is not too late to get involved, and I'd love to see
some of the western and southern CO routes adopted, especially. See the
forwarded post for more information. *Contact me if you want to volunteer
or have questions*. The volunteer sign up function on the BBS website is
currently not functioning for CO, so email me directly.

Hi CoBirders,
The *North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) i*s our longest running
continent-wide survey of breeding birds. Each year during the height of the
avian breeding season (late May to early July), skilled birders collect
bird population data along roadside BBS survey routes. Each survey route is
24.5 miles long with stops situated 0.5-mile apart. At each stop, a
3-minute point count is conducted, and every bird seen or heard within a
0.25-mile radius is recorded. Routes are surveyed once each season,
following the same roads and making the same stops each year.
I've been surveying BBS routes for over 30 years and it is one of the
highlights of my birding year. I've learned so much, and it is so fun to
get to know the routes and the birds along the way, and to see first hand
how things are changing.
