2nd Virginia Breeding Bird Atlas
2020 Field Season
This page provides a collection of resources to address key goals and priorities of the final 2020 VABBA2 field season. Since the VABBA2’s March Kick-Off meeting was moved online, this page includes resources which would have been shared and discussed at that event.
Some of these resources are familiar, since many of the guidelines related to data collection remain unchanged. However, please pay special attention to the 2020 Guidelines for Volunteers, which provides key updates on the project.
