During 2002 - 2006, AOS conducted an extensive project to better document the breeding birds of Alabama.  This site has served to help keep everyone up-to-date on the latest happenings and assist in gathering and displaying the data. The site is now modified to show just the overall results without listing each species found in each block. We have completed the field observation phase of the project, but still solicit reports of breeding birds which include both date and location of the observation for any time from 2000 to 2006.

Any thoughts, suggestions, or other ideas are welcome and can be sent to the AOS webmaster.  To learn more about the breeding bird atlas (bba) project, read this article. 

You may also want to know who the region coordinators are for your area.  Click here for a clickable map giving information for each of the nine regions or here for a  listing of the regions and the counties they include.  To find out more about how to help with this project, contact the project coordinator for your region or Rick West, the atlas project manager. 

NEW RESULTS NOW ONLINE:  Almost all the results through 2006 of the BBA are now available.  Click here to view the results map that will allow you to view results.  From the map, click within any region to view its quads.  Then click the quad name to view information about the status of each of its blocks. Many thanks to Kit West for his help in getting these pages ready for viewing. The pages do not include the unedited species lists. The project continues toward electronic publication, possibly as early as 2007.

The current status maps include a pink color for those blocks from which we received no reports. If you do not see your breeding season observations from any of the pink areas, maybe you did not submit them.  If you did, please remind your Regional Coordinator or Rick West, and we will get them in the next update.
