What is Breeding Bird Atlas (BBA) Manager? BBA Manager is our online data management system designed to manage in-progress atlas projects and help them prepare for publication. Participants can log into the BBA Manager site and directly enter their field data, which can be subsequently reviewed by coordinators. After the review process, the interim data become available for the public in BBA Explorer. Some of the extensive data and GIS capabilities are summarized in this word document: BBA Explorer Feature Summary.doc
BBA Manager is made available at no cost to atlas projects through an agreement between USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center and staff USGS Core Science Systems Mission Area. Recent changes in funding and staffing have made it more difficult for us to host new projects.
