Hi Everyone, The California Bird Atlas monthly summary for March has been posted on the eBird portal at: https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/news/atlas-dispatch-march-2026 The next Town Hall Q & A session on Zoom will be on April 16 at 7 pm. Below is an email from Van that provides information about how to sign up for the Town Hall and other information about progress with the atlas. There are still large areas in Los Angeles County that need coverage! In my previous email I mentioned that we need help in the Antelope Valley, Castaic Highlands, and San Gabriel Mountains, but coverage in the Santa Monica Mountains is also sparse in most blocks. If you haven't already signed up, please join us! Regards, Lance Lance BennerPasadena, CA ----------Forwarded Message----------

The latest edition of The Atlas Dispatch is now live. Click here 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. We also hosted our first CBA Town Hall on March 19. A recording is available on our YouTube channel here. 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. Submit questions here. California Bird Atlas is an independent 501(c)(3), and donations can be made here. 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,Van Pierszalowski Executive DirectorCalifornia Bird Atlas <van...> Angeles, CA_._,_._,
