While I have tried to learn as much as I can in all areas of nature, it is birding that has, & will always be my primary passion. In this section I try to share some of the knowledge that I have picked up through my years observing our birdlife!
Since you're visiting this website, you probably already harbor an interest in nature. This section will act as a starting point for you to learn about locations across the region where a variety of birds may be encountered & studied!
Curious what unusual birds have been sighted recently? This section of the website provides an overview of the notable species reported within Virginia Beach each month with photographs relating to these notable species included whenever they are readily available. Monthly entries are typically posted by the end of the following moth, or as time allows. Anyone with an interest in rare or unexpected birds (or just birds in general) should spend some time reviewing the rest of the ‘Distribution’ section of this website in addition to these entries!
Roughly 400 species of birds have been recorded within Virginia Beach! This section of the website is dedicated to anyone who is interested in where & and when each species has been found, or where one might be found in the city.
Understanding the weather can be of major importance when it comes to observing birds. Whether it is sunny, cloudy, rainy, or anything in between, birds are greatly affected. To learn more about the weather, check out this section!
While Virginia Beach is a major city, it is also one of the best places in the country in terms of the variety of birds capable of being observed, with around 400 species having been spotted within the city borders. Since 2009, it has been my mission to observe and document as many bird species as I can across the city & surrounding region. This guide is the culmination of thousands of hours spent outdoors, and my goal is that through this section, other folks interested in birds will be able to learn a bit more about what they can see locally!
