Virginia Breeding Bird Survey News

[Roanoke Valley Bird Club]

Recently, the VABBA2 project made the cover of The Appalachian Voice's Fall edition!

Check out this great article, "For the Love of Birds", written by Eric Wallace, which digs into why bird conservation projects like the #vabba2 are so important for all of Virginia, but especially the Appalachian region.

This story also gives you a peak into some of the specific bird conservation work being done as a spinoff of the larger VABBA2 project (hint: Swainson's Warblers!) AND the work of one of our project partners, the Appalachian Mountain Joint Venture (amjv.org).

Give it a read and learn something new about our great state and perhaps even the VABBA2! :) Article available at - http://appvoices.org/2018/10/17/for-the-love-of-birds/
