McClane, Architectural Historian, completed a historic architectural resource survey of Accomack and Northampton counties on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. This survey was part of a series of projects funded through a $1.5 million Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Assistance Grant for Historic Properties that the National Park Service awarded to the Commonwealth of Virginia by way of the Department of Historic Resources in 2014. The pass-through project funds were awarded to seven counties in Virginia, including Accomack and Northampton counties, and administered by the Department of Historic Resources; Accomack County, Northampton County, and the Accomack- Northampton Planning District Commission served as local partners. In the event of future severe storm events or other natural disasters, this initial survey effort will support disaster mitigation planning at the local, county, and regional levels.

    Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report November 2018 Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report Donna A. Milligan C. Scott Hardaway, Jr. Christine A. Wilcox Shoreline Studies Program Virginia Institute of Marine Science William & Mary This project was funded by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program at the Department of Environmental Quality through Grant # NA17NOS4190152 Task 92.02 of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, or any of its subagencies. November 2018 Page | 1 1 Introduction The Commonwealth of Virginia owns numerous tidal, waterfront properties along Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries including state parks, natural area preserves, and wildlife management areas. Many of these parks have eroding shorelines and are at risk from coastal hazards such as tidal flooding, waves, and sea level rise. These environmental threats impact the safety of park visitors and the mission of the parks. In an effort to address these issues for the parks as well as provide education to the public on living shoreline management strategies, eleven state parks with tidal shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries were selected because of their suitablility for living shoreline demonstration projects (Figure 1). These parks: Belle Isle, Caledon, Chippokes, First Landing, Kiptopeke, Leesylvania, Mason Neck, Middle Peninsula, Westmoreland, Widewater, and York River, are spread throughout the Chesapeake Bay and have a variety of coastal conditions due to their locations and underlying geology.

The rally will be based out of Kiptopeke State Park, the site of several [email protected] Nlong-term bird-monitoring projects. This article introduces folks to Kiptopeke’s rich Robert J. Reilly birdlife, as well as to the human personalities who have been instrumental to understanding Powhatan, Virginia and protecting the birds that pass through Kiptopeke each year on fall migration. [email protected] he Delmarva Peninsula, with barrier islands and the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Tbroad Chesapeake Bay to the west, narrows dramatically as you approach its southern tip. Kiptopeke Beach lies three miles north of this southern tip, and at that point the peninsula is just two and a half miles wide, with the bay stretching 23 miles to the west. Below the peninsula’s southern tip and adjacent Fisherman Island, the mouth of the bay presents 11 miles of open water before reaching the mainland. The Delmarva becomes a focal point for great numbers of migrating birds, exhausted and seeking landfall at the close of a night’s migration. Many choose to stop, rest, and feed before venturing again over open water, and, as dawn arrives, many of these migrants form loose flocks and work back north from the tip in search of food. Kiptopeke lies directly in the path of many of these foraging songbirds. Kiptopeke is where, on a September day in 1962, a birder returning from the offshore bar - rier islands was awaiting the ferry to Norfolk.

  • 2007 the Virginia Society of Ornithology, Inc
    The Raven JOURNAL OF THE VIRGINIA SOCIETY OF ORNITHOLOGY Volume 78 Number 1 2007 The Virginia Society of Ornithology, Inc. exists to encourage the systematic study of birds in Virginia, to stimulate interest in birds, and to assist the conservation of wildlife and other natural resources. All persons interested in those objectives are welcome as members. Present membership includes every level of interest, from professional scientific ornithologists to enthusiastic amateurs. Activities undertaken by the Society include the following: 1. An annual meeting (usually in the spring), held in a different part of the state each year, featuring talks on ornithological subjects and field trips to nearby areas. 2. Other forays or field trips lasting a day or more and scheduled throughout the year so as to include all seasons and to cover the major physiographic regions of the state. 3. A journal, The Raven, published twice yearly, containing articles relevant to Virginia ornithology, as well as news of the activities of the Society and its chapters. 4. A newsletter, published quarterly, containing current news items of interest to members and information about upcoming events and pertinent conservation issues. 5. Study projects (nesting studies, winter bird population surveys, etc.) aimed at making genuine contributions to ornithological knowledge.
