| Breeding Bird Atlas (2000-2005) | Depicts the distribution of breeding bird species in New York State, as recorded during the 2000-2005 Breeding Bird Atlas surveys. The Breeding Bird Atlas is a presence/absence survey. While a record of a species in a block is highly suggestive of its breeding presence there the lack of a record does not guarantee absence of the species as a breeder in the block. Atlasers were directed to work in a block until 76 species had been recorded; therefore the list of species reported breeding within a block was not intended to be comprehensive. | n/a | n/a |

| Species Distributions | This is a KML/KMZ file that can be used with a free virtual globe program, like Google Earth. The KMZ file is intended to provide general information about the distribution of breeding bird species in New York State. After downloading the file, users may click on a species name and view the distribution of survey blocks where the species was recorded during the 2000-2005 Breeding Bird Atlas survey. Additional KMZ files (listed below) provide a list of species occurring in each survey block. KMZ |
