Thank you, Kent! This article is helpful, ESPECIALLY the part that says we need not worry about safe dates when we enter our data. This is valuable information. Thanks again!

Many of us searched the state to document breeding bird species. The atlas collected important conservation information and it was a lot of fun. Many of us miss it! But with Vermont eBird, the atlas never ends! We want you to keep documenting the nesting status of the birds you are finding. You can make your Vermont eBird sightings even more valuable by adding breeding information to them.
