Hi all,

I’m excited to share that the new edition of CBA’s official newsletter, *Atlas
Dispatch*, is out now *HERE
<https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/news/atlas-dispatch-april-2026>*. Huge
thanks to Sam Safran, CBA’s Science Director, who did an incredible job
pulling together a great recap of our first April, along with other project
news and highlights.

As of this writing, we’re at *95,498* Atlas checklists. We truly didn’t
think hitting 100K before the end of the first summer would be possible,
and now we’re within striking distance in early May. Keep it up, everyone!

See the newsletter
<https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/news/atlas-dispatch-april-2026> for
other upcoming news, including the announcement of the inaugural California
Bird Atlas Big Weekend (June 4–7, 2026) and the next CBA Town Hall (May 27).

And if you just want to browse some of our favorite Atlas photos from last
month, click here
