Subject: [CALBIRDS] Introducing BLOCKBOARD: Progress Dashboard for
California Bird Atlas
To: <CALBIRDS...>
Hi all,
*Blockboard:*
We are excited to announce the launch of *Blockboard*, the new progress
dashboard for California Bird Atlas (CBA). Blockboard is designed to help
atlasers quickly identify which species still need breeding confirmations
within each Atlas block. To explore Blockboard, *click HERE
<https://californiabirdatlas.org/blockboard>*.
For a quick introduction, check out this short video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpjVGSaKIaE&t=1s> from Sam Safran, CBA’s
Science Director and the creator of Blockboard. The dashboard will update
daily (or close to it) as new Atlas data comes in.
*CBA Big Weekend:*
We’re also getting closer to the first annual CBA Big Weekend (June 4–7,
2026). More than 30 field trips and community events are already planned
across the state. You can read more about Big Weekend, browse events, and
register your own event *HERE
<https://www.californiabirdatlas.org/bigweekend>*.
Thank you to all 4,173 contributors who have already submitted 108,933
Atlas checklists (!) from 6,526 Atlas blocks. We are so grateful for the
California birding community's engagement on this multi-year project.
