Hi South Bay Birders!
Below is a link to the latest California Bird Atlas Dispatch. I collected
a few statistics for Santa Clara County through the end of March and the
first few days of April:
231 atlasers are participating in Santa Clara County
1,889 checklists have been submitted
84 blocks (out of 134) have been covered for the Atlas
67 species have confirmed breeding codes
If you haven't joined the Atlas your data is not included in these
numbers. I've noticed some nice photos of bird breeding behavior in eBird
that are in checklists that are not in the California Bird Atlas. Please
consider joining. You can add prior checklists to the Atlas
after-the-fact, however, each checklist will need to be added
individually. The link is below to join the Atlas.
If you have any comments or questions please let one of us know.
Thanks,
Brooke Miller
