ATLAS SUCCESSES - MORE WORK TO DO by Rosemary Curley 
     
    
   
   
    
     This coming field season is the final one of a five year project for the 
     
     Maritimes Breeding Bird Atlas. The maps presented here succinctly identify the 
     
     work yet to be done in order to complete the Maritimes Breeding Bird Atlas to 
     
     satisfaction. "Satisfaction" is the completion of priority squares. Two Halifax 
     
     residents have volunteered to finish those squares west of Charlottetown but 
     
     volunteers are needed for the eastern areas. 
     
    

    
     For icing on the cake, think also of secondary and tertiary squares. 
     
     Perhaps you can help complete a species list in one or more areas. All 
     
     contributions are welcomed. This year saw the first records for breeding 
     
     Eastern Bluebirds and first Atlas records for Marsh Wren, Redhead, Warbling 
     
     Vireo, Philadelphia Vireo, Hood Thrush, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Fox Sparrow, and 
     
     Willow Flycatchers (These records remain under review as we go to press). 
     
     Exciting as these are, it is the information on common species that is of the 
     
     most interest. 
     
    

    
     If you think you can contribute to this last year of fieldwork, please 
     
     contact me to register your wishes. Remember too, there is no other last 
     
     chance, so commitments must be honoured in 1990. I can supply you with complete 
     
     information on any square that interests you. Contact me, Rosemary Curley at
