[Tweeters] New version of the Sound to Sage breeding bird atlas website

[Jane Hadley via Tweeters]

Hello Tweetsters - I wanted to let you know that a new version of the 
Sound to Sage breeding bird atlas website is now available on the WOS 
website.

The Sound to Sage website was originally launched in 2006 by Birds 
Connect Seattle (BCS), back when it was known as the Seattle Audubon 
Society. It has been resurrected in a new form and is now available on 
the WOS website.

The project, which provides accurate data about which bird species are 
breeding in specific locations within four contiguous counties, was 
hosted on a website for many years by BCS. But the proprietary software 
used to display the data became outdated and was no longer functional. 
Hal Opperman, one of the leaders of the intensive data-gathering effort, 
worked with WOS volunteer Randy Robinson to produce a new web version 
with current, non-proprietary software. BCS made the data available and 
also cooperated in the effort.

The new site, which displays the breeding bird data on maps for Island, 
Kitsap, King and Kittitas counties, is best viewed on a tablet, laptop 
or desktop computer. It also provides the data in downloadable 
spreadsheets and .pdfs. The website is available at 
https://wos.org/documents/soundtosage .

When you go to the webpage,  select a species from the drop-down lists, 
and the map on the right will show the nine-square-mile atlas block 
areas where breeding was possible, probable or confirmed. You can view 
either the overall four-county map or individual maps for each county.
