SUMMARY:January Meeting - Progress Update on the Maryland & DC Breeding Bird Atlas 3 by Gabriel Foley
DESCRIPTION:Two years of data collection are now complete for the Maryland & DC Breeding Bird Atlas 3 (BBA3). This five-year community science project is documenting the distribution\, abundance\, and timing of each bird species that breeds in Maryland or DC. When complete\, the BBA3 dataset can be compared to similar past projects and will provide an unparalleled record of how local bird distributions have changed over the last 40 years. Atlas Coordinator Gabriel Foley will provide an overview of how the project collects data\, an update on the current status\, and discuss how you can get involved and submit your own observations.
