Over the next few years the Florida Ornithological Society (FOS) will be running a statewide breeding bird atlas program to determine just what species are breeding where. Sure we all have a general idea, but the data collected is important in showing species' strength and/or in some cases, the decline of others species.The previous BBA was run from 1986-1991. Data collected from that survey can be seen at the site noted here - http://legacy.myfwc.com/bba/default.asp . Don Margeson is our area coordinator and would appreciate hearing from you about nesting species you see when you're out. Please be smart! You don't need to disturb nest sites or count eggs, etc.. Singing birds on territory will be sufficient. He can be reached at donatdonlo@aol.com .Next weekend FOS will be hosting a kickoff weekend up in Live Oak in north Florida.
