Ohio birders, As we approach analysis and write-up for the Atlas book, it is now essential that we receive any unentered data by April 30th. Please enter any breeding bird observations you may have (2006-2011) in our online database or send hard copies by mail. If you can't meet this date, contact us as soon as possible, but it becomes difficult to include new data after April 30th. This 6-year project has been made possible by the contributions of hundreds of birders in Ohio. We continue to strive to include all new records to complete our understanding of the distribution of Ohio breeding birds. Please contribute your observations while there is still time. http://www.ohiobirds.org/obba2/index.php Also, our species sponsorship program is still running through May. Proceeds go toward lowering the cost of the Atlas for everyone.
