To be a part of the New York Breeding Bird Atlas, you only need to follow three easy steps: follow the block system, observe breeding behaviors and enter your observations in the Atlas portal in eBird. (Click here to learn more about the Atlas Essentials <https://ebird.org/atlasny/about/atlas-essentials>). Join us this Thursday to learn more about recording breeding codes and next week to learn about using eBird to enter those observations.
*Breeding Codes - **Thursday, April 15, 7:00 – 8:00pm* Every time you’re out birding, you’re observing bird behavior. It could be a song, some territorial squabble, or even a bird building a nest. Matching bird behaviors to specific codes is all you have to do to atlas! In this webinar we'll review the various breeding categories and codes. There will be quizzes.
