Does anyone know if the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas has come out yet.

I believe the release was a couple weekends ago at the Royal Ontario Museum.  The website indicates that anybody who pre-ordered it will have their copy sent out "starting in February".

I saw that too and I was wondering if anybody had actually received theirs yet. It's almost March.

I got mine 3 weeks ago. Picked up at the ROM. It is a great book. As informative as it is heavy!

It was delayed at the printers for several weeks I heard. So now that anyone who wanted to pick it up in person did. They are in the process of mailing out the hundreds of atlases.

Should be crushing your mailbox soon.

Cheers

I finally got my copy too. After I read a couple of pages I had to put it down. My arm hurt. Good thing they didn't sell it by the pound. A good read though.
