Description

The Maine Bird Atlas was a large-scale, community-science project designed to document the distribution and abundance of bird species across the state. Conducted from 2018-2022, the Atlas combined standardized survey methods with thousands of volunteer observations to create the most comprehensive assessment of Maine’s breeding and wintering birds ever completed.

The Maine Bird Atlas was a collaborative effort directed and funded by MDIFW, with coordination, editing, and publication led by Maine Natural History Observatory in partnership with Maine Audubon and Biodiversity Research Institute. The Atlas is not only a bird book, it represents the largest natural history collaboration and statewide resource assessment ever undertaken in Maine.
