Maine Bird Atlas - Volunteer Appreciation Event

[Doug Hitchcox]

Hi everyone:

It has been thanks to so many of you that over the last five years we’ve completed the Maine Bird Atlas, and we want to celebrate! This coming Saturday (8 Oct @ 4PM), we’re holding a Volunteer Appreciation Event at Cushnoc Brewing in Augusta. This will be a fun time meant for: sharing stories of your adventures atlasing, meeting other volunteers, answering atlas trivia, winning door prizes, and much more! We’ll have Cushnoc’s [award winning] pizza for sharing, and beverages available for purchase.

Please help us estimate attendance (so we can get enough pizza!) by registering here: eventbrite.com/e/maine-bird-atlas-volunteer-appreciation-event-tickets-418892748487

We do have one more winter season of atlasing, but this year wrapped up the final breeding season. This took an amazing effort, especially in northern Maine, and the effort map with all its priority blocks complete looks incredible: https://ebird.org/atlasme/effortmap

I hope to see you in Augusta on Saturday!
