      <image:title>Resources and Education - Principles of Birding Ethics</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the Fall 2008 issue of the Virginia Society of Ornithology newsletter, VSO President David Spears said, “In the Federalist Papers, Hamilton and Madison wrote, 'If men were angels, no government would be necessary.' But men aren't angels, they went on to argue, and therefore we need rules to govern our behavior. What about birders? Are we all angels? Do we need rules?” President Spears' article continued on this idea of rules for birding and defining ethical birding behavior. Many organizations have adopted the American Birding Association's code of birding ethics. The VSO's Principles of Birding Ethics are based on this ABA code, and VSO hopes these are guidelines that birders in Virginia will support and abide by. Please share copies of the principles with your birding friends</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - The Second Virginia Breeding Bird Atlas</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Atlas has been the VSO’s biggest ongoing initiative, and is soon to be published as a free website in late 2025! The Atlas is Virginia’s largest avian survey project ever, covering all of the state’s geographic regions and breeding species. With the help of citizen scientists and our partners, the Atlas will provide invaluable information about Virginia’s bird populations and inform future conservation decisions. Learn more about the VABBA2 here. With the Atlas project fully funded, VSO is now prioritizing conservation projects.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Bramble Hill</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Virginia Society of Ornithology recently acquired Bramble Hill, a beautiful 30-acre birding preserve which straddles the Virginia-West Virginia state line in the scenic Blue Grass Valley area of Highland County, thanks to the generosity of Wayne O’Bryan, who donated Bramble Hill to the VSO in honor of his late wife, Margaret. VSO now stewards the property, managing the habitat for early high-elevation successional bird species such as Golden-winged Warbler, and welcomes birders to enjoy this special place.

      <image:title>Projects - American Kestrel Project</image:title>
      <image:caption>American Kestrels are a welcome presence throughout Virginia’s rural countryside, and a treat to observe. The piercing cry of these magnificent little falcons echoing over farms and fields used to be a common occurrence year-round, but today the American Kestrel is a species of concern in Virginia, and their breeding territory has shrunk considerably. Learn more about where in Virginia this iconic species still nests, VSO’s efforts to understand their decline, and our efforts to conserve them here. Kestrel in Nest Box at Bramble Hill.

      <image:title>VA Birds Journal - About the Virginia Birds Journal</image:title>
      <image:caption>The VSO Board approved the publication of a journal to record bird sightings in Virginia at the February 2004 Board meeting. The first reporting period was Summer 2004. Alan Schreck and Linda Fields were the inaugural editors, and came up with the idea of a publication that would record interesting seasonal bird sightings and detect trends over time. All VSO members receive a subscription to The VA Birds Journal as one of the benefits of society membership.</image:caption>
