One of the few members of the bird club left from the early 1970's and once the president. In the old days HRBC was active in organizing joint field trips with the VSO to the Eastern Shore, Cape Hatteras and Skyline Drive among others. Until the early 1980's helped with the bird banding station in Kiptopeke that was started by club members with banding licenses Walter Smith, Charlie Hacker and Mike/Dorothy Mitchel-- this operation resulted in the creation of the Kiptopeke State Park. Birding led me to photography starting in 1973 traveling to about 100 countries.

Program TBD

COVID and HRBC

The Hampton Roads Bird Club membership is encouraged to receive vaccinations and boosters related to COVID. The club suggests everyone use caution to safeguard against potential exposure to COVID by practicing distancing, wearing masks and other established protocols for avoiding pathogen exposure.  All members are encouraged to wear masks when inside at meetings and limit unknown

persons when carpooling. Most importantly any individuals feeling ill, with a fever, or any typical flu or cold-like symptoms should NOT attend meetings, field trips, or Sunday morning walks. It is up to all members to be mindful of the health of others by staying home when appropriate, and to employ their own precautions.
