WHAT IS THE STATUS OF NEW MEXICOS BREEDING BIRD ATLAS?
Initial planning for New Mexico’s atlas started in 1999. In the spring of 2000, The New Mexico Breeding Bird Atlas Project was established as a not-for-profit New Mexico corporation with an eight-person board of directors. The 2000 breeding bird season was a trial year and used 21 volunteers to test field and computer methods. The project is seeking at least 75 volunteers in 2001.
