The Hampton Roads Bird Club was founded in 1951 - we're 58 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 Nicholas Flanders for 2008-09)
