Presented by Julie Hart SUNY ESF | New York Natural Heritage Program Project Coordinator of the New York Breeding Bird Atlas III
It has been 20 years since the last breeding bird atlas in New York State and a lot has changed! The third atlas will take place from 2020-2025 and involve thousands of volunteers from across the state. Learn about the history of the atlas, the importance of atlas data, and how you can get involved. 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.
You may begin the login process at 5:15pm so that we can be sure to help anyone who might need assistance with the technology. The presentation is expected to begin promptly at 5:30pm.
