Subject: [CALBIRDS] California Bird Atlas Newsletter + April 16 Town Hall
Birders,

Thank you to everyone contributing to the California Bird Atlas. The latest edition of *The Atlas Dispatc h* is now live. Click *here ( https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/news/atlas-dispatch-march-2026 )* for a full update, including Atlas-first breeding records, field highlights from across the state, and incredible photos.

We continue to be blown away by the level of engagement statewide. As of today, 66,642 Atlas checklists have been submitted across 5,131 blocks, spanning all 58 counties. 3,196 atlasers have contributed to the project, and we’re still in the first spring of a five-year Atlas period!

If you haven’t joined the eBird Atlas project yet, you can do so *here ( https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia )*.

We also hosted our first CBA Town Hall on March 19. A recording is available on our YouTube channel *here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCfPiGkkknQ&t )*.

Our next Town Hall is April 16. We’ll share project updates, take questions, and feature Megan Jankowski (CBA Review Coordinator) presenting on how to find breeding birds. Register for the Zoom *here* ( https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EPFHvpqETly6Yk7xJwm_Ig#/registration ). Submit questions *here ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnWjR4UApjRAPx0ErxR3y9dqFUNSzZ_KekPtbVGH_6JCrHIA/viewform?usp=dialog )*.

California Bird Atlas is an independent 501(c)(3), and donations can be made *here ( https://donorbox.org/california-bird-atlas )*. Your support helps us grow the team, expand coverage, and continue building this incredible momentum statewide. We are deeply grateful :)

Thanks, all - we’re just getting started!

Happy Atlasing,
