The recent Cobirdsdiscussion about migrating data between eBird &
Cobirds & otherlistserves left out one important site that merits data sharing:
TheCOLORADO BREEDING BIRD ATLAS
Many of youalready post your data to the Atlas, but many don’t. The
Atlas will acceptsdata from non-priority blocks, and it particularly solicits
them for breedingconfirmations and likely breeding for unusual species.
Many of youvisit places that have special birds, see unusual
breeders, or see breedingevidence – nest building, nests, fledglings, adults
carrying food, etc. – thatwould enhance the Atlas database. Your visits to
state and local parks, privateranches, Nature Conservancy properties, exotic
locations such as Lamar &Tamarack & Bonny (at least once upon a time) –
generate information thatwill make our Atlas more complete.
I urge youto post your data to the Atlas database; Atlas workers
pick up some of thesedata but you have more complete knowledge and can fill in
gaps (habitat, e.g.).You’ll do a better job of it.
[I admit ittakes determination to master parts of the Atlas posting
system. If you havetrouble figure out which block (priority or non-) contains
your site, I canhelp you with it. (The Atlas map system does not endear itself
to pairing asite with a block.) Or I can help in other ways – let me know.]
