From the project website at
http://www.birdatlas.mb.ca :
The Manitoba Breeding Bird Atlas is an ambitious five-year project to engage citizens in documenting the distribution and abundance of all breeding birds throughout the entire province of Manitoba. This important initiative is a collaboration of many partners who share a passion for environmental monitoring. The Manitoba Breeding Bird Atlas is run largely by volunteers and we are always looking for people who would like to be involved as citizen scientists or in other capacities.
Join the effort! Anyone with a pair of binoculars and bird watching experience, or even a desire to learn about birds, can participate. You don't need to be an expert-we just ask that you are confident in the identification of the birds you report. We are also looking for people with other skills such as editing, graphic design, fundraising and promotional experience. Participants will be asked to register online in the coming months.
