Building a Community Resource - Tucson Audubon and AviAtlas launch a joint project to document the birding hotspots of the Greater Tucson Area.


We're joining up with Tucson Audubon Society to build a detailed catalog of birding locations for the Greater Tucson area. The aim is to work with a local organization like TAS and utilize it's powerful network of birders to assemble both a digital and printed resource for the birding community.

We've agreed to put our knowledge of maps and graphics to work and Tucson Audubon is gathering community participants to contribute information. The result is going to be site descriptions, photographs, and sighting data for over 50 birding locations in and around Tucson. This information is then going to be compiled and edited into a Tucson Birding Map available through Tucson Audubon. For more information check out the article in the latest Tucson Audubon Newsletter
