Status & Distribution - Virginia Beach Comprehensive Checklist

This list contains every species for which there exists an accepted record in the City of Virginia Beach, either input to eBird or included by virtue of having been documented by various publications (North American Birds, Virginia Birds, Virginia’s Birdlife: An Annotated Checklist, etc.). The color-coding used throughout this comprehensive checklist is built around how each species is treated in Virginia Beach by eBird, with colors mimicking the methodology used in many hard-copy field guides to North American bird species.

Color Key & Species Count Breakdowns
Seasonality Species Count Explanation
Permanent Resident 80   Permanent Residents; species which are present throughout the full calendar year though individuals may turnover seasonally.
Winter Resident 67   Annual Winter Residents; species for which there are expected fall arrival & spring departure dates.
Summer Resident 41   Annual Summer Residents; species for which there are expected spring arrival & fall departure dates.
Transient 30   Annual Transients; species for which there are expected spring arrival & departure dates, and fall arrival & departure dates.
Fall Transient 7   Annual Fall Transients; species for which there are expected fall arrival & fall departure dates.
Spring Transient 3   Annual Spring Transients; species for which there are expected spring arrival & spring departure dates.
Rarity 121   Rarities; Species which could potentially occur in any given year, but are considered rare.
Casual/Accidental 56   Accidentals/Casuals; Prior occurrence, but not generally expected to occur in any given year.

The right portion of this table contains links to distributional information for each species within eBird. A map of the spatial distributions (the 'where') may be accessed under the "Spatial Distribution" column. As long as there are records in Virginia Beach, the map will default to a full view of the county. The final column, 'Counts & Seasonality', provides accepted counts throughout the year for each species. In combination, the spatial, count, and seasonality data comprise the full distribution of each species. If you wish to view multiple maps or charts in your browser, select the links by clicking the roll wheel of your mouse on each link. To search this table, hit CTRL+F on your keyboard, type your search & hit Enter.
