Québec Breeding Bird Atlas - Are you keen on birds? or do you birdwatch regularly? Whether you are an experienced birdwatcher or a beginner, this is your chance to contribute to the most ambitious ornithological project ever undertaken in Québec: the second Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Québec. www.atlas-oiseaux.qc.ca/index_en.jsp

Maritimes Breeding Bird Atlas - Launched in 2006, this is the second breeding bird atlas to be conducted in the Maritime provinces. The Maritimes Breeding Bird Atlas is building on the accomplishments of the first and will produce distribution and abundance maps for birds breeding in NB, NS, and PE.  The Maritimes Atlas is also the country’s only fully bilingual atlas effort, with all atlas materials and the website available in both English and French.  Follow the project’s progress online at www.mba-aom.ca. 

British Columbia Breeding Bird Atlas - The British Columbia Breeding Bird Atlas was launched in 2008 following closely on the heels of the successful Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas (see below). The atlas will be the first comprehensive atlas designed specifically to map the distribution and abundance of the 317 species that breed in BC. Visit the web site at www.birdatlas.bc.ca

Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas - Released in early 2008, the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas is a valuable conservation and research tool, and profits from the book’s sale go toward bird conservation projects in Ontario and Canada.  The book contains over 700 full colour pages of photographs, maps, and charts showing current distribution and abundance, and distribution changes in the last 20 years, for the 300 species breeding in the province. To place an order, or to obtain more information including sample accounts, visit the atlas' website: www.birdsontario.org
