Abstract:

Land Cover by Breeding Bird Atlas Block based on National Land Cover Dataset 2011

Purpose:

The Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas Project was a cooperative, volunteer-based survey. As part of the Gap Project, the Atlas provides the most comprehensive survey of nesting birds in Pennsylvania's history. Based at the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Cooperative Research Unit at the Pennsylvania State University, the mission of the Gap Project is to identify "gaps" in the protection of biologically rich areas of the commonwealth.
