Greetings Birders,
If you use (or would like to use) eBird, and you enjoy birding in our neighboring state of California, please consider joining the California Breeding Bird Atlas Project. It's a wonderful way to take birding to a new level, learning more about birds, and searching for breeding behavior.
Here's a short announcement about this project from Sam Safran, the Science Director.
If you have any questions about the project, please drop me an e-mail.
Thanks, and Good Birding!Henry D. DetwilerYuma, AZ
Hi birders,
I wanted to share an opportunity that may be of interest to those of you who live near the California border or who occasionally bird across the state line.
The California Bird Atlas is currently underway! While it’s focused on documenting breeding birds in CA, the data collected will support conservation efforts for many of our shared species.
If you spend any time birding in California, you can contribute your sightings to the dedicated eBird project. Our Quick Start Guide has all you need to get going.
If you look at the current Atlas Effort Map, you’ll see that there are many blocks along the border that have yet to receive any coverage. Your observations, even from a few outings, can help fill the gaps and build a clearer picture of bird distribution and breeding status across the region.
