The Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II Partnership

The Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II is a joint project of The Ohio State University, School of Environment and Natural Resources and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Wildlife. Project Directors for the atlas are Paul Rodewald (OSU) and Scott Hull (Division of Wildlife), and Aaron Boone (OSU) is the Project Coordinator. The Advisory Board for the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II includes John Ritzenthaler (Audubon Ohio), Mark Shieldcastle (Black Swamp Bird Observatory), Ned Keller (Ohio Ornithological Society), Dan Brauning (Pennsylvania Game Commission), and John Castrale (Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife). The Ohio Ornithological Society has graciously donated hosting for the Atlas website. This large-scale effort is made possible only though the assistance of hundreds of citizen volunteers, and other in-kind contributions from conservation groups, and federal, state, and local governmental agencies in Ohio.
