The five-year Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas is wrapping up, but there is still time to submit your observations – from as far back as 2021 – to the Atlas. Please consider converting your eBird reports or those outings to capture bird photographs into a meaningful contribution to conservation efforts. Almost every bird you encounter can be easily added to the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, a once in a generation province-wide community-science effort. Data submission deadline is 31 August. For more information on how to be a part of the community of more than 270 local observers who have contributed their observations to the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, please visit www.birdsontario.org or contact the Ottawa Regional Coordinator at [email protected] Redhead (1) Aug 09-13, Carleton Place--Hwy 7 Storm Pond, Lanark.
