DEAR OBBA II VOLUNTEER,
As we get closer to the end of July, and also the end of the survey period for the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II, opportunities for confirming uncommon species are becoming fewer. Though there are only about 10 species that have not been confirmed in the state, there are more that have not been confirmed in priority blocks. Getting confirmations for these species will help as we make comparisons to the first Breeding Bird Atlas in Ohio. Below is a list of species that are still lacking direct breeding evidence in priority blocks. If you have information on any of these species, unentered data, or ideas about where to look, please let us know.

Data
As mentioned in previous emails, birders involved in this historic project are making last minute decisions about where to atlas based on which blocks remain with low coverage. Please help everyone involved by entering your breeding bird observations as quickly as possible. At this point, data entry is as valuable as data collection.
