  • Atlas Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Atlas Methodology The primary goal of the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas Project was to document the status and distribution of all birds breeding in Ohio between 1982 and 1987. Additional objectives of this project included providing more accurate information on the distri- bution and nesting occurrences of Ohio’s rare and endangered breeding birds; identifying significant habitats supporting rare or unusual species which could become the focus of preservation efforts; providing baseline data against which future changes in the status and distribution of Ohio’s breeding birds can be measured; providing baseline data for the development of environmental impact statements; involving the birders of Ohio in a cooperative effort of scientific value and heightening their awareness of the state’s summer birdlife. This Atlas represents the work of hundreds of birders throughout Ohio who expended over 30,000 hours between 1982 and 1987 collecting data on the distribution of breeding birds in the state. Over 95% of this data was collected between 1983 and 1987 with 1982 serving as a pilot year for the Atlas Project. In order to fully understand and interpret this data, it is necessary to have some understanding of the goals and mechanics of breeding bird atlas projects. Data Collection: Priority Blocks and Special Areas The basis of any atlas project is a grid system whereby the geographical area to be surveyed is divided into a series of smaller sub–units (usually squares or rectangles called blocks). In Ohio, as in a majority of other states conducting breeding bird atlases, the grid system employed is based on the 7.5 minute topographic map system.
