With Christmas Bird Counts completed and birders primed, the third year of the Louisiana Winter Bird Atlas begins January 10th. We welcome back all the hard-working volunteers that have put so much energy into the atlas. We are truly inspired by the quality and dedication of Louisiana birders.
New to the atlas and want to get involved? You can check out the project description and instructions at the Louisiana Bird Resource Center website by visiting the atlas web pages here.
The short story is this: if you can identify Louisiana birds -even if they're just the neighborhood birds- you can help us document the distribution and abundance of wintering birds in Louisiana.
Come on out, winter's great!
