The North American Breeding Bird Survey is looking for skilled birders and biologists to participate in data collection. In brief, bird atlas projects started in Britain about 60 years ago, and they are 5-year-long surveys conducted every 20 years. Plus, volunteer hobbyists as well as ornithologists can contribute to the surveys.
The data collected helps conservation decision makers make decisions about population and location information. Head over to PWRC.USGS.GOV/bbs/participate/ to learn more about getting involved. For those who live in New York State, visit ebird.org/atlasNY to participate in the New York state breeding bird atlas project that’s underway.

It’s National Banana Day. As a result, organizers say it’s a time to celebrate the fruit’s nutrition and contribution to comedy.
Of course, we also like to appreciate how designers use the banana in home decor, as well. Industrial and interior designers have been using the banana as inspiration for a variety of home decor. For example, some of our favorites include a pool table, pet bed, and even shoes.
