Presented by: Julie Hart, New York Breeding Bird Atlas Project Coordinator,
New York Natural Heritage Program
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. This talk will cover the history
of the atlas, the importance of atlas data, and how you can get involved. Learn
how the third atlas will differ from previous atlases, including how we will be
using eBird for data entry. EBird will make it easier to track progress and
allow anyone to enter data anywhere. 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.
Lecture will take place at 6:30 pm, Emma S. Clark Library, 120 Main Street,
Setauket, NY 11733
Free and open to all. Reservations required. Email:
