Hi everyone, the California Bird Atlas is holding our first Big Weekend June 4th-7th to welcome new atlasers and to expand coverage. Locally we're holding several field trips, but I want to highlight a social event to kickoff the weekend:
*Thursday June 4, 6:30 pm to 9 pm* *Bay Area Atlas Social * Prescott Market <http://prescottmarket.com/> 1620 18th Street, Oakland 94607
The full list of events is here: https://www.californiabirdatlas.org/bigweekend. You can register your own if you have plans to bird and would like company; trips don't have to be through a formal organization. Click on "submit an event" on the map.
Additionally, Science Director Sam Safran created a new tool called the Blockboard to view atlas blocks, effort, and what species have and haven't yet been confirmed per block. It's really cool and another great resource: californiabirdatlas.org/blockboard
Some regional atlas stats so far: San Francisco: 82 confirmed species, 147 species coded over 3233 hours Alameda County: 108 confirmed species, 193 species coded over 3608 hours Contra Costa County: 101 confirmed species, 181 species coded over 1992 hours
