Many states and provinces are increasingly interested in tackling a comprehensive survey of the birds in their regions. With the help help of technology, this ambitious undertaking is more achievable than ever. Maybe you've heard of Breeding Bird Atlases. Maybe you've participated in them in the past. But it's easy to get involved with this important conservation and natural history initiative. Gabriel Foley is the atlas coordinator for the Maryland-DC Breeding Bird Atlas and he joins host Nate Swick to talk about what these atlases are trying to accomplish and how birders can get involved.
Also, Birding editor Ted Floyd recently returned from Mexico and thinks ABA birders should add it to their travel plans.
