The Cornell Lab of Ornithology builds the eBird global platform for communities and partners around the world to advance data-driven science, education, and conservation.
This month’s spotlight features a Top 15 atlaser who will likely have completed 15 blocks before data collection ends later this summer. An all-around naturalist, if he's not observing birds, he's identifying plants or investigating the other critters utilizing a given habitat.
This month, meet Mary Maertz of Outagamie County, one of our Top 20 atlasers and a County Coordinator. Though she originally intended to "just help out a little" by atlasing around her cottage, she has since completed 5 priority blocks and is working on closing 5 more by August!
Our volunteer team is as varied as the bird species they observe, but one thing that many atlasers have in common is extraordinary passion. This month's spotlight atlaser is no exception.
Think you have a good idea of what it takes to be an atlaser? You may be surprised.
This month’s spotlight is another great example of atlasers who are putting their own unique spin on the project. Though they sometimes atlas on land (when they have to), this group prefers to paddle their way through their blocks.

Since WBBA II started in 2015, our volunteer team has grown to include more than 1,600 atlasers who have submitted nearly 100,000 checklists. Who are these incredible volunteers?

Many old-school birders initially find using eBird to be a hurdle when they begin atlasing. But what about those who just don't use technology, period?
The Atlas couldn’t happen without its volunteers, and every atlaser brings a distinct set of talents to the project. Our team is truly as varied as the bird species they observe, and the truth is you can be any age, live anywhere, and need only an interest in birds to participate.
