Hello all,

Am I the only one with Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas data to enter?  If you too are going thru field notes here are a few tools you might find useful for locating atlas block numbers:

Get GPS coordinates here (thanks Jean!):

Use GPS coordinates to find the block number using the Block identifier tool:
http://www.ohiobirds.org/obba2/blockmap/latlon2block.php

Interactive Block Mapper:

Can be used along with Delorme map book, seventh edition
