To All: We’re sending you this message on behalf of Larry Allen, local birder extraordinaire (especially gulls), who has indefagitably labored for years getting the Los Angeles County Breeding Bird Atlas organized, censused, collated and soon, very very soon, off to the printer. Lillian and I sponsored the Burrowing Owl page, but there are still species available for you! I encourage everyone to help the book, help the birds and help Larry get this book out.

You guessed it — a Breeding Bird Atlas Species Sponsorship!  They are going fast, and your $100 tax-deductible donation will have an impact now more than ever as we near the final publication of our Los Angeles County Breeding Bird Atlas.  Of 246 birds addressed in the Species Accounts, only 53 remain unsponsored.  Here are our orphans, crying for your help:

[Bracketed birds are: post-Atlas, historical, and island-breeding species, and will not have maps].
