Breeding Bird Atlas II (and I) Data Online

.
Here's a blurb from Michigan Audubon's most recent Chapter Connections email. Dunno how many of you did "work" on this project; it had me walking the old interurban railroad easement down to Black Creek many times during those years to gather BBA data for Fruitport Township -- a dirty and thankless job, but somebody had to do it!  ;-)  However, a lot of real work was done for the Atlas by our own Brian Johnson in both Muskegon County and elsewhere.  At any rate, it's good to see that the data are now accessible.

Breeding Bird Atlas II Available Online
The Kalamazoo Nature Center (KNC) announces that the second Breeding Bird Atlas for Michigan has been published online in a searchable and printable format.  KNC coordinated the fieldwork and data collection for the Atlas.  The volume contains data that was collected by more than 800 volunteers who observed 250 species in Michigan between 2002 - 2008. The first Breeding Bird Atlas, which was published in 1991, has been digitized and is also available online to view or download.  To view these publications, visit the website www.mibirdatlas.org.
