In 2020, New York launched a 5-year project to document breeding birds all across the state. This "Breeding Bird Atlas" can be used to assess the status of breeding birds and compare trends over time. One of the best parts of the Atlas, is that anyone can participate! Whether you are interested in slogging through a bog to find an elusive wren, or whether you want to document the nesting robins in your own back yard, the Atlas wants your observations.
There are two upcoming interactive workshops on how you can contribute to the NYS Breeding Bird Atlas. These "walk and talks" begin with a quick classroom introduction, then they move outdoors so you can actually practice locating, identifying, and recording breeding birds. We hope you can join us for one of these introductions! Pre-registration is required. Montezuma Audubon Center, <https://act.audubon.org/a/nys-breeding-bird-atlas-101-6521> June 5 from 9-11 AM.
