Point of Contact: Roger Mayhorn, President

The Buchanan County Bird Club was formed in December 2001 as the brainchild of Roger Mayhorn and Ed Talbott III. The goal of the club is to share the enjoyment of birding and to get others involved in learning about the natural world. The BCBC is made up of members who are serious about birding, but who don’t take themselves too seriously, which leads to lots of fun and enjoyable outings. Interaction with the community is important to BCBC members with programs involving the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, participation in local festivals and the presentation of programs to other clubs and organizations. The Buchanan County Bird Club successfully hosted the Virginia Society of Ornithology’s annual meeting at the Breaks Interstate Park in 2006. In recent years BCBC members have worked with the Virginia Department of Game and the Breaks Interstate Park in helping to monitor and to search for nest sites of reestablished Peregrine Falcons.
