The Hampton Roads Bird Club was founded in 1951 - we're 61 years old!

The purposes of the Club are to:

• Promote scientific study and the recording of bird habitat


• Promote development, protection and conservation of bird life and other natural resources


• Cooperate with national, state, and local organizations toward the conservation and education in the fields of natural resources and ornithology


• Provide financial grants to individuals and organizations to assist in their ornithological education ($500 scholarship was awarded to HRBC member Jackie Heatwell, a student from CNU, for 2011-12)
