This is to announce the pre-sale of the Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Ontario, 2001-2005.

To order your copy (or copies!) go to the atlas web page: http://www.birdsontario.org/atlas/atlasmain.html and follow directions there. You will find more information about the book on the web page.

You can also order by calling the atlas office toll-free (1-866-900-7100), or you can print out an order form from the web page and mail it to us.

The atlas will be over 700 pages long, 9x12 inches and full colour, with photographs, maps and charts for the 300 species breeding in the province. It will be printed and distributed in the fall of 2007. By ordering your copy now, you get the book at a special presale price. During the presale, atlassers can purchase the book for $67, which includes taxes, distribution and handling. Non-atlassers can purchase the book for $79 during the presale. The retail price of the book is expected to be about $96.

Ordering the book now also helps us pay for the printing and helps us decide how many copies we should be printing - and would be much appreciated!

The web page also has some samples of what the species account sections of book are expected to look like. I hope you like what you see.

To get the atlasser price, you'll need your atlasser number when you order the book. If you can't remember it, go to the atlas web page, then look under Atlas Data and Maps, then click on Data Entry. If you enter your e-mail address in the space provided there, your atlasser number will be e-mailed to you. You can also get your atlasser number by calling Rebecca Harrold (the Atlas' new Assistant Coordinator) toll free at 1-866-900-7100, or e-mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED]

THE PRESALE ENDS ON FEBRUARY 28, 2007, so don't delay.

All the best,

Mike
