Spring is a great time to get out atlasing before the leaves are fully out and hide all the birds and nests.
We previously published a guide to early nesters, some 30 species that start breeding in January through early April. In this guide, we extend the list of early breeders into the first half of May.
Inside the guide to early spring breeders, you’ll find additional tips for species in the following groups:
- Waterfowl
- Coastal marsh birds
- Inland marsh birds
- Raptors
- Cavity nesters
- Open habitats
- Residential birds
Happy atlasing!
