Virginia Bird Atlas

Virginia’s Second Breeding Bird Atlas is one of the largest avian survey project in Virginia, both in terms of geographic coverage (the entire Commonwealth) and the number of species surveyed to date. Conducted from 2016 to 2020, the project gathered data on the distribution and abundance of more than 200 bird species to support informed natural resource management and conservation planning in Virginia.
