Hello and happy new year! The Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the Kirtland Bird Club are joining together to enter summer bird sightings into the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas website, http://www.ohiobirds.org/obba2/ Are you curious about atlasing, do you already own a block, or just enjoy learning about Ohio's nesting birds? If your having trouble locating block numbers we have multiple preprinted maps available. If you have summer birding checklists, you have valuable Atlas data, attend a Data Get Together and we'll enter your sightings into the online database. We meet from 5-8 pm on the third Wednesday of each month (except November and December) in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History library, free with museum admission. Nesting Notes presentation will be at 6:30 pm: 01/16/08 What is the OBBAII?
