Virginia Project
Bird population and species distribution modeling to understand causes of population declines
May 2022 - December 2025
Personnel
Participating Agencies
- US FWS
- Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources
We use large datasets (Breeding Bird Atlases, eBird, Breeding Bird Survey) to estimate bird species' status and drivers of population decline. A current focal species is the Cerulean Warbler, and we are gathering existing datasets to build an integrated population model to understand demographic drivers of decline.
