The Swedish Bird Ringing Atlas Volume 1-3
The first Swedish bird ringing atlas was published in 1935, authored by Einar Lönnberg, the former head of the bird ringing administration at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Since then no major analysis of the results from Swedish bird ringing has been done until the current atlas project started in the middle of the 1980s. Planning the project and applying for fundings were the first matters to be solved and the computerizing of all recoveries back to 1911 took several years. Not until the middle of the 1990s could the analysis of the recovery data begin, and, due to financial problems, this continued until 2005. The Swedish bird ringing atlas is a joint project between the Swedish Ornithological Society and the Swedish Museum of Natural History. The aim is to present biological information gained from bird ringing in Sweden in a clear and informative format to suit anyone interested in birds as well as researchers and bird ringers. The atlas is written in Swedish but every species has an English summary and figures and tables have captions in both languages.
The first volume covers divers-raptors (62 species), volume two presents grouses-woodpeckers (92 species) and the third and last volume covers the passerines (103 species). The first volume was published in 2001, the second volume in spring 2008 and the last volume in the end of 2008.
It is possible to order the atlas from abroad via the Swedish Ornithological Society's web shop Naturbokhandeln or via the shop at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Links to the web pages of both retailers are found below, but since both web pages are in Swedish contact details are also given.
