The third atlas effort started in 2020, and is the first to use eBird for data entry. Now that the Atlas has acquired a year’s worth of data, it is time to find out how participants can best use their time to contribute more data that the Atlas is lacking. This presentation will be geared particularly towards NYC/Long Island birding. Atlasing is a great excuse to explore new areas and provides an intimate look into the daily lives of birds. Whether you are a beginner or advanced birder, this unique opportunity will strengthen your birdwatching skills while contributing valuable data to a large conservation-oriented project. Brendan Fogarty is a Regional Coordinator for the NYS Atlas, for the district of NYC/Long Island. He is Secretary and Newsletter Editor of Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Society, and their youngest board member ever. He is a Long Island local and has been involved in birding and Audubon here since his teens. Brendan has been involved in several local conservation projects, including Piping Plover monitoring for the Town of Hempstead and abundance surveys for Seatuck Environmental Association. Hope to “see" you then.
