2nd Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas

Headquartered at Powdermill Avian Research Center

The 2nd Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas project, headquartered at Powdermill Avian Research Center, is a five-year study of all the bird species that nest in Pennsylvania. Incorporating data supplied by thousands of volunteers across the state, the atlas will provide information on the abundance and diversity of Pennsylvania’s breeding birds, which in turn will direct how future conservation and land management practices are carried out. For much more extensive information on the Atlas, please see the 2nd Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas Web site, www.pabirdatlas.org.

You can view regions and blocks to see statewide summaries at a site developed for 2nd Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas by Cornell Lab or Ornithology.
