According to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, there are more than 400 species of large birds in Virginia. From the seashore to the mountains, Virginia is home to every naturally occurring species on the East Coast. That’s pretty impressive. And thanks to incredible efforts of conservation groups, previously scarce or threatened species like eagles and osprey have made a significant comeback in Virginia.
The following pictures have been provided through the artistry of brilliant photographers throughout the state. Thanks to them, even if you are not a “birdwatcher” by definition, you can take a few moments to experience the magnificence of Virginia’s birds. Enjoy the view!
