2012 Effort Recommendations - BC Breeding Bird Atlas

Updated - 31-May-2012

Following is a summary of recommended squares to finish off in 2012 for the British Columbia Breeding Bird Atlas in Region 1 Southern Trench.

Please contact me or Greg Ross if you are planning on doing any atlassing in the Region. You can dig up our emails off the Breeding Bird Atlas website (or respond to this email if you are receiving this through your BBA email).

This table can also be viewed on Google Docs at:

You can just Google the square number to get to the existing BBA data.

Here is what has been done so far, and what could still be done.

Dark red = Breeding Evidence done to 10 hour-standard.

Diagonal lines = Point Counts done to 10 pc-standard

Light red = some Breeding Evidence done

Green square = recommend we finish these off

Yellow flower = easily accessible square begging attention.

You may access these on my flickr - links below - where you can download (warning - large file), or at least view "original" size, to zoom in. Resolution should be good enough for you to see place names.

Thank you so much! - to everyone who has contributed to this provincial effort. Did you have some adventures - like me? Wasn't it fun! - snooping around with a purpose. Did you learn some new birdsong?

And more importantly, do you feel the satisfaction in knowing you have contributed to the knowledge and awareness of not only avian distribution but also to our stewardship of Gaia (my word for the terran bioshere) through whatever this data is going to be used for in the future?

Happy atlassing!
