Hi Folks! I’ve personally been swamped by stuff in my non-birding life, but … Just in case you missed this: Bird on! We definitely could use more folks helping with the project!

Using a dedicated eBird Project <https://us.list-manage.com/n1ZJ5PHNXIA?e=5aa9fe05bf&c2id=81da79d3bdd005f4c4d393038c7f5061>, atlasers are helping create a statewide baseline that will support bird conservation, habitat management, research, and climate resilience planning for decades to come. > > While California hosts more breeding bird species than any other state, it remains one of only six U.S. states to have never completed a statewide Bird Atlas. > > > Bushtit / Scott Templeton / Macaulay Library⁣ <https://us.list-manage.com/PdXl1DHbN0F?e=5aa9fe05bf&c2id=81da79d3bdd005f4c4d393038c7f5061> > Join Us: California Bird Atlas Big Weekend (June 4-7) > Whether you’re a longtime eBirder or just getting started, Big Weekend is designed to be an easy and fun way to contribute to this historic statewide effort. > > Partner organizations and volunteers across California will be hosting bird walks, atlas outings, workshops, and local events throughout the weekend. But you do not need to attend an organized event to participate. > > All checklists submitted to the California Bird Atlas project during Big Weekend will be part of the event. You can contribute from anywhere in the state by atlasing your local patch, documenting breeding activity in your neighborhood, or exploring Atlas blocks that have received comparatively little coverage so far <https://us.list-manage.com/10TqonEWHjK?e=5aa9fe05bf&c2id=81da79d3bdd005f4c4d393038c7f5061>. > > > Dark-eyed Junco / Michael Park / Macaulay Library⁣ <https://us.list-manage.com/wat50pD473m?e=5aa9fe05bf&c2id=81da79d3bdd005f4c4d393038c7f5061> > Already Using eBird in California, But Not Atlasing Yet? > No problem!
