Atlas note:
Though peak bird breeding period in Southern Ontario is wrapping up for
this year, there is still plenty of evidence to be seen – and heard – in
support of the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas. Please consider converting
your eBird reports or those outings to capture incredible bird photographs
into valuable data that will help shape conservation efforts for years to
come. As the summer progresses, it doesn’t matter if you are walking the
dog at home, visiting your friend’s cottage, or enjoying a break in a
favourite Provincial Park: almost every bird you encounter can be easily
added to the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, a once in a generation
province-wide community-science effort.
For more information on how to be a part of the community of more than 230
Ottawa Region observers who are contributing their observations to the
Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, please visit www.birdsontario.org or contact
