I like Paul's idea about doing something in a priority block too.
Brookshire area is not inside a priority block though.
Anyway, it sounds like there are no objections to posting this on our
group email and facebook page etc. So Adrianna and I will work on
coming up with a plan for Atlas-centered walk. Adrianna has said she
will co-lead the walk and hopefully will tell people about her
experience as a tech working for the Atlas.
If people would like to come to this and can't go on Saturday because of
the Brookshire thing, we can have this on Friday or Sunday. Is there
anyone on the board who would definitely attend the atlas walk, but
can't go on Saturday?
Thanks, Guy

I think Paul has the right idea- but also the Town is scheduling a planting day out at the wetlands opposite Brookshire so we can spend the rest of our Burke’s grant money and they want to do that on the 25th- so maybe we could start there and then go do our walk

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
