Dear San Mateo County Birders,
As of yesterday, 4/8/26 these are some of the latest San Mateo County statistics reflecting the efforts of those participating in the California Bird Atlas Project.
230 Atlasers are participating in San Mateo County
2,211 checklists have been submitted to the project so far in our county
58 out of 66 Atlas blocks have received some coverage
47 species have been assigned “confirmed” breeding codes
*Very important!* I have been seeing checklists which are full of breeding codes. However, many of those checklists are not included in the Breeding Bird Atlas Project because the creator of the checklist has not joined California Bird Atlas Project. *If your intention is to have your coded checklists count, you must join the project in order for your checklists to be included in the project.* *If you have not yet joined the project,* you can do so *here* ( https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/home ). Also be sure to read and become familiar with the correct use of the Breeding Codes https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/about/breeding-codes
I’m very much enjoying and observing the birds during this delightful time of year!
