Wanted: birders and those keen to become better birders.

Data collection for the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas 3 has begun and there is no better time to get involved. This is a five-year project aimed at mapping the distribution and abundance of the roughly 300 species of breeding birds in Ontario.

It is information collected by volunteers that will be used by researchers, scientists, government officials and conservation professionals.

See club president Paul Pratt’s 10-minute presentation about the atlas on the Essex County Nature YouTube channel. He and Karen Cedar are the Essex regional co-ordinators for the atlas project. Jeremy Hatt is the co-ordinator for Chatham-Kent.
