What’s the best, easy to access birding spot that’s actually in an atlas
block around here? It seems easy enough to schedule a walk there and just
focus on tracking down and trying to confirm breeding behavior as we go.

Hi all,
The NC Bird Atlas is having a "Big Atlas Weekend" on the 24th to 26th of
this month, and Adrianna has suggested (see below), that HCAS sponsor an
event to support it. I imagine this would mean planning a walk and
advertising for it on our various media platforms.
1. I wonder whether anyone has any ideas on how to make something like
this work?
2. Do all agree that this is something the chapter should get into?
Thanks, Guy

Hey Guy,
So I just got some more information from some of the Atlas staff about Big
Atlas Weekend plans. I would love to do something with HCAS. Here is a
rough outline of the weekend schedule as well as what the Transylvania Co
Bird Club will probably do:
Wednesday, 6/22 = encourage club members to attend virtual BAW kick-off
event
Thursday, 6/23 = encourage folks to attend Scott’s NC Bird Atlas 101
virtual event
Friday, 6/24 @ 6 p.m. BAW officially kicks off
Saturday, 6/25 = Meet local club members to answer follow-up questions,
make sure everyone is linked to the NCBA portal in eBird, and lead a local
birding walk (ideally in a priority block)
Sunday, 6/26 @ 12 p.m. BAW officially ends
Wednesday, 6/29 = virtual BAW awards night
Here is the link announcing the event (with additional embedded links)
that HCAS can post on their social media accounts
https://ebird.org/atlasnc/news/save-the-date-2022-big-atlas-weekend-june-24-26.
The link to Scott's 101 event is not available yet.
I'm happy to send out this info to HCAS (except I don't have access to any
HCAS social media). Would you be interested in co-planning/co-leading a
bird walk on Sat, 6/25?
Let me know what you think!
Adrianna
