[YoloBBA] Bird Atlas Maps

[Alison Kent]

A huge thank you to Allan for generating aerial photographic plus  
road maps for each block in the county. These are now available  
online here: http://yoloaudubon.org/bba (at the foot of the page).  
I've also included a link to the field card.

Hoping to get the map of the entire county up as an image soon with  
coordinates that will enable you to click on a block to get that pdf  
to download, but hope this works for now.

Many of you have been doing great work already surveying your blocks  
(and your home turf also). Definitely record any suspected or  
confirmed breeding activity (for definitions, see the instructions)  
along with the date and the habitat even if you see these things  
outside the 20 selected grid blocks for 2008. Remember, if we have a  
confirmed breeding record for a block, we're done with that species  
for that block.

Please let me know right away if you find any errors in any of the  
downloaded block maps -- i.e. if you're expecting G3 and you end up  
with P5, which could certainly happen. Easy to fix, but we'll need to  
know about it!

Finally, please do let the group know if you're planning on going out  
BBA'ing and could use some help or would just like company. There are  
several people on this list who do not have an assigned block but are  
willing to help out.

Thanks again for all your hard work, and make sure to have fun!

Alison
