Oregon Breeding Bird Atlas
Hexagons window

This hexagons window gives access to detail maps of the hexagons. It also has statewide summaries of some results of the atlas in both map and table form. Summaries are given for the hexagons and, where the data is available, for the squares as well.

As you move the mouse across the map, you may see the hexagon number in the status bar at the bottom of the window. Click on a hexagon to bring up a detailed map.

You may find the actual figures for each hexagon or square through the statistics link. Also, the detailed map of a hexagon gives a further breakdown of the observational summary. The counties link shows a map of the counties, with county names.

The Confirmed species map shows the number of species for which the observations were of confirmed breeding evidence. The Total species shows the number of species for which the observations were of some breeding evidence, though breeding may not have been confirmed. The number of observers is a count of the number of people who turned in observations for the hexagon. The number of hours is a total of the time spent by all observers in the hexagon. The Geographic coordinates links give tables of the coordinates of each hexagon, one table in decimal degrees, the other in degrees minutes seconds.

The Squares outline shows the location of the squares on a statewide map. The number of observers is a count of the number of people who turned in observations for the square. The number of hours is a total of the time spent by all observers in the square. The Geographic coordinates links give tables of the coordinates of each square, one table in decimal degrees, the other in degrees minutes seconds.
