Welcome

The Virginia Bluebird Society (VBS) was founded in 1996 to promote bluebirds and other native cavity nesters. VBS is affiliated with The North American Bluebird Society (NABS) and is a Chapter of the Virginia Society of Ornithology (VSO).

Our Organizational Goals

• Promote bluebird conservation projects among our members and other groups
• Establish and support a statewide network of bluebird trails
• Create a consistent protocol for monitoring and record keeping of nest box trails
• Be a resource for research and data collection of native cavity nesters in the State of Virginia
• Develop educational programs and materials to promote bluebird awareness

Volunteers Needed

Do you enjoy nature and walking in the outdoors? The Virginia Bluebird Society is always looking for volunteers to monitor its bluebird box trails in locations all over the State of Virginia. No experience is needed, as we will train anyone who is interested in spending a couple of hours, one week a month, working as a member of a team on one of our VBS trails. You would be taking your turn counting and recording the eggs and chicks inside bluebird boxes especially designed for cavity nesting birds. If you have the time, and would be interested in seeing birds up close, contact your VBS county coordinator [see our list on this web site] or Barbara Chambers, the VBS State-County Coordinator at bj.chambers@cox.net.

Bluebird license plates are now available! Read the press release for more information.
