Hi birders,
Thank you all for continuing to build an incredible first year of the first
statewide California Bird Atlas. As of this writing, 160,228 Atlas
checklists have been submitted from 5,141 atlasers. The number of blocks
with data is approaching the 50% mark, with 8,202 blocks receiving some
coverage (49.63% of total blocks).
For more detailed updates, please see the following resources:
*ATLAS FIRSTS*
In June, atlasers confirmed breeding observations for 26 additional
species, bringing our total (as of May 30) to 298 species. Visit *Atlas
Dispatch <https://ebird.org/atlascalifornia/news/atlas-dispatch-june-2026>* to see the full list of newly confirmed breeding observation species.
*TOP 20 SPECIES*
Here are the 20 species with confirmed breeding observations in the most
blocks as of July 15, 2026 (number of blocks in parentheses). Click on each
species to see the current Atlas Species Map, which updates regularly as
new data comes in. Six species have already been confirmed breeding in over
1,000 Atlas blocks.
