The Wisconsin Breeding Bird Atlas II wrapped up five years of field work in 2019. Since then, the project team has been working hard to finalize the massive data set consisting of 2.8 million bird observations from more than 3,500 volunteers.  As work continues on data analysis, book publication and more, we invite you to join us for an inside look into preliminary results in this online presentation from Wisconsin DNR conservation biologist and WBBAII science coordinator, Ryan Brady.
