There are just two weekends left in the fifth and final year of Atlas-3's
"peak breeding season". This window closes on July 10. Our goal is to have
every square in southern Ontario covered with at least 20 hours of peak
breeding season effort and 25 point counts.
If you're able to help, we are especially in need of people to help in the
Parry Sound-North Bay-Algonquin Park area, with lesser but significant
needs in Sault Ste Marie, Bruce, Manitoulin and the Smith's Falls areas.
We are updating our current needs map daily which links to a sign-up sheet:

If you can't help with any of the target squares, you can
complete additional atlassing in "covered" squares - the more data, the
better!
