Trade Review“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.”
