Bird Safe Hampton Roads is a partnership led by the Cape Henry Audubon Society with multiple organizations and concerned community members working to make Hampton Roads safer for birds that live in our area or pass through during the annual spring and fall migrations. The particular focus of this effort is to reduce hazards caused by urban and suburban development such as disorientation by artificial lighting, building and window collisions, and habitat encroachment.
