Hi Folks,
OK, OK. We know that data clean-up isn't exactly the most fun task, but(!)
now is the perfect time to take a look at last season's breeding season
data. Cleaning up your checklists will not only help us (the VABBA2
project) out, but will also help you start prepping for the upcoming
breeding season.
To help you catch some of those easy mistakes, one of our Atlas volunteer
coordinators has put together a great article highlighting the top ten
'boo-boos' that he has seen in his own and others' Atlas data.

Check it out and let us know what questions you have by sending us an email
or posting questions to the Atlas Facebook Group

Happy Birding!
