Breeding Bird Atlas

A Breeding Bird Atlas is a comprehensive survey that documents where and when different bird species breed in a specific region. Conducted over several years, it involves birdwatchers recording nesting activity, singing, and territorial behavior to gather data on breeding populations. This information helps scientists understand bird distribution, monitor trends, and guide conservation efforts. Essentially, it creates a detailed map of breeding birds, highlighting important habitats and identifying changes over time to support the preservation of bird populations and biodiversity.
