Hello everyone,
For those who don't know me, my name is Ivy Austin and I'm the Assistant
Coordinator for the Maritimes Breeding Bird Atlas-a project with which many
of you are quite familiar. For those who aren't familiar with the Atlas, it
is a five-year, volunteer-based project to assess the distribution,
abundance and status of all birds breeding in the Maritimes. We've just
finished our second year of data collection and with all the data being sent
into the office, it occurred to me that I might check NatureNS to see if I
could get even more data for the project. I found several sightings which
aren't in the Atlas database and I would like to take the observations
posted on NatureNS and include them in the Atlas database. I'm writing to
ask if anyone has any objections to their observations being included in the
Atlas. These observations are very valuable and in many cases, are one of
only a few breeding records for several species. The data from the Atlas
will eventually be used to identify critical wildlife habitat and set
conservation priorities, so every NS observation is very important. All the
data extracted from the listserv will appear under the listserv name
(NatureNS). If you have any comments or concerns regarding the use of the
listserv, or the use of your personal observations, please don't hesitate to
contact me at atlasmaritimes@gmail.com or at 1-866-5atlas5. If you would
like to know more about the Atlas project please check out our website at
www.mba-aom.ca <http://www.mba-aom.ca/> .
Thanks very much and enjoy what's left of fall migration!
