“As a friend and contributor to The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds
in West Virginia noted, “This atlas has something for everyone.”
From the casual birder to the academic to those charged with
developing budgets for conservation efforts, this atlas gives a
foundation for strategic planning to slow or reverse population
declines, and to conserve the avian fauna of the Mountain
State.”—LeJay Graffious American Birding Association
“As states update their breeding bird atlases, quality of research,
thoroughness of data collection, and importance of results for
guiding future state conservation and management are priorities.
The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in West Virginia exceeds
expectations in every way by providing outstanding resources for
birders, biologists, researchers, and anyone interested in learning
about the state of birds in West Virginia.”—Christopher M. Lituma
