Birding: Maine Breeding Bird Atlas is hoping you can contribute
The Maine Breeding Bird Atlas, in the fourth year of a five-year mapping project, needs more volunteers to help in every corner of the state.

The fourth year of the Maine Breeding Bird Atlas is off and running. This five-year project will provide an accurate mapping of the distribution of all the breeding birds in Maine and a baseline for future projects to assess changes in bird distribution. Furthermore, it will provide a valuable comparison with the first survey conducted from 1978 through 1983.
For the current atlas project, the state is partitioned into over 4,8oo blocks, each a 2.9-by-2.9-mile squares. To complete a block, a minimum of 15 hours is required along with solid evidence of nesting for 60% of the species.
Bird-lover and local Audubon Christmas Bird Count coordinator Colin Boeh spent the snowy, foggy morning of Jan. 2 driving around his route with his wife Mary Chris, a two-and-a-half-year-old, and a newborn, frequently wiping off the steamy windows of the truck and not seeing a single bird.
âIf you had asked me at 11 a.m. on count day if we were going to see a record number of species, Iâd have said âno way,ââ he later said with a laugh.
The Boehs went snowshoeing in Teton Canyon in the afternoon with much greater success, even spotting the golden eagle couple that appears to have made a home on some cliff face deep in the Jedediah Smith Wilderness.
