Bird Projects & Bird Species List
The Alberta Bird Atlas Project
The goal of a breeding bird atlas project is to survey and record the current relative abundance and geographical distribution of each breeding bird species. In general the wide movements of many bird species make the location of their relatively sedentary breeding stations important. Therefore, bird atlases often concentrate on breeding bird behavior.
Opportunities for Birders
Opportunities for Birders in Alberta in the areas of Appreciation, Monitoring, and Conservation.
Important Bird Areas
Led by BirdLife International, the Important Bird Areas program is a global effort to identify, conserve, and monitor a network of sites that provide essential habitat for bird populations.
Prairie Nest Records Scheme (PNRS)
The Prairie Nest Records Scheme (PNRS) is essentially, a collection of cards, each detailing one or more visits to an occupied bird's nest, a nest under active construction, or an active nesting colony in the Prairies, the Northwest Territories or Nunavut. The majority of cards are submitted by field volunteers who find nests and record the relevant data.
Bird Species List (Provincial)
This is the Official List of birds known to occur, or to have occurred historically, in the province of Alberta as compiled by the Alberta Bird Record Committee.
