Hopefully most of you have heard that the second year of the NY State Breeding Bird Atlas is underway. If you have thought about getting involved and are ready to dive in, now is the time! This week's webinar is meant for those of you who want to atlas but aren't quite sure what it is all about or how you can help out.
*About the Atlas - **Thursday, March 25, 7:00 – 8:00pm* We've just started the second year of NY BBA III! This workshop will cover the history of the atlas, the importance of atlas data and how you can get involved. Whether you are a beginner or advanced birder, this unique opportunity will strengthen your bird watching skills while contributing valuable data to a large conservation-oriented project. Have general questions about the Atlas? Join us for the April Town Hall. *April Town Hall - Season 2 Kickoff and Q & A -* *Wednesday, April 7, 6:30 - 8:30pm* Every month from now through August we'll focus on an atlas skill and follow it up with a Town Hall meeting so you can ask questions and connect with other atlasers. The demo will be followed by an open Q&A. Visit the Atlas calendar <https://ebird.org/atlasny/about/events> to get additional details as well as to view other scheduled events.
