WV Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) Routes (2018 openings)
​

I'm working on filling as many vacant survey routes as I can for this year.
​As many of you know, the BBS is a primary tool for long term monitoring of songbird populations.
​
Routes are 25 miles long, with 50 stops where observers count birds for 3 minutes. To run a route, you must have mastery by sight and sound of all native birds in WV. Additionally, your hearing must be excellent. Routes can be run between May 27th ~ July 2nd.

We currently have the following vacant routes:  (Routes listed by: Route Name - WV County - Starting Point) 

Three Forks ~ Webster County ~ start point 38.3420287 -80.3742359
Valley Head ~ Randolph County ~ start point 38.60707 -80.0272954
Cedarville ~ Gilmer County ~ start point 38.8295556 -80.7952778
Breeden ~ Mingo County ~ start point 37.8519437 -82.4001619
Rockport ~ Wood County ~ start point 39.0742387 -81.5530999
Slate Wirt  ~ Wood County ~ start point 39.04944 -81.55312
