   Several aspects of the study of ornithology differ from closely related disciplines, possibly due to the high visibility and the aesthetic appeal of birds.  
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornithology
   
   Extractions: History pre-Darwin post-Darwin view talk ... edit Ornithology (from Greek: ορνις, ornis , "bird"; and λόγος, logos , "knowledge") is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of birds . Several aspects of the study of ornithology differ from closely related disciplines, possibly due to the high visibility and the aesthetic appeal of birds. Most marked among these is the extent of field studies undertaken by amateur volunteers working within the parameters of strict scientific methodology. The science of ornithology has a long history and studies on birds aided the introduction and refinement of key concepts in evolution, behaviour and ecology such as those of species speciation instinct learning ... phylogeography and conservation While early ornithology was principally concerned with descriptions and distributions of species, ornithologists today concern themselves with answering specific questions, often using birds as models to test hypotheses and predictions based on theory. A wide range of tools and techniques are used in ornithology and innovations are constantly made.

Birds What is an Ornithologist? Rosemary Drisdelle Jul 27, 2006 An ornithologist is a scientist who studies birds (ornithology) in an academic setting and has made birds his or her specialty. Ornithologists participate in scientific studies of all aspects of the natural history of birds, both living and extinct. Ornithologists continually add to our knowledge of birds and help guide bird conservation efforts.

    Extractions: The egg collection, consisting of 10,400 sets representing 733 species, is 11th largest in North America in number of sets and 15th largest in number of species. It represents approximately 90% of the species and subspecies of North American birds. The egg collection has grown by 1% in the last five years. It is cataloged in a card file that includes original collectors' data slips or page references to the collector's field notes. Especially well represented are sets from New England and Florida. The collection is rich in sets of raptor eggs, including Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Broad-winged Hawks, Red-shouldered Hawks, Crested Caracaras, and American Kestrels, and the Florida races of Seaside Sparrows and Clapper Rails. Rarities include sets of Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, and Bachman's Warbler eggs. The bird sound collection, in the FLMNH Bioacoustic Archives, with 20,500 cataloged recordings representing about 3,000 species, is perhaps third or fourth largest in the world in number of species. In the western hemisphere it is the second largest in number of species and third largest in number of recordings. We are now processing one of our largest accessions ever, the collection of Ben B. Coffey, Jr., with thousands of high-quality recordings from the southeastern USA and the Neotropics. The sound collection has grown by 20% in the last five years, not counting the Coffey accession. It is cataloged entirely on computer. Geographical strengths include North America, especially Florida, and the Neotropics, with smaller but notable numbers of recordings from Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Some taxonomic groups especially well represented are tinamous, trogons, woodpeckers, antbirds, New World flycatchers, wrens, New World wood warblers, and corvids.

Garrett, Collection Manager kgarrett@nhm.org COLLECTION HOLDINGS Ornithology, the study of birds, is one of the founding disciplines of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. At the core of the program is a research collection of 112,000 specimens, representing over 5,400 species or nearly 60% of the world's modern birds. The collections, among the largest in western North America, include 95,700 study skins, 2000 flat skins, 10,450 complete skeletons, 3000 fluid-preserved specimens, and 2500 tissue samples. Many of our 1,560 taxidermied mounts are on public exhibit in the Ralph W. Schreiber Hall of Birds. Our collections are worldwide in scope, with an emphasis on western North America (nearly 21,000 specimens from California alone), the Pacific Ocean Africa - particularly Kenya (10,097) and Uganda (9,459), and South America - especially Argentina (13,686) and Brazil (10,862).

    Extractions: Last modified: 27 March 2008 Last modified: 27 March 2008 Six issues of JOO were published during 1993-1996. More will be published as time permits. The goal of JOO is to publish abundance, presence, presence/absence, frequency of occurrence, arrival, and/or departure records of birds at individual sites in Oregon . Ten or more systematic, repeated observations at a site, even if only of common birds, are particularly welcome. Observations prior to 1970 are also encouraged because few are available and they can be helpful in determining changes in bird populations.

    Extractions: Ornithology is a zoological science that studies those creatures belonging to the Class Aves, much better known as birds. Birds, the only vertebrates that have feathers, are generally divided into two major groups. Ostriches, Emus, Dodos and Kiwis are ratites, birds that lack that conspicuous keel-like extension on the breast bone and lack the ability to fly. The vast majority of the birds, however, are non-ratites and possess the keel to which the powerful muscles that power the wings are attached. All-in-all, there are over 9200 extant species of birds divided into 30 orders and 174 families. Their ability to fly has allowed them to colonize every land mass on earth including the Arctic and Antarctic and some, like the Penguins, have adapted an aquatic lifestyle coming to shore only to breed and raise young. Fossil evidence of the ancestors of modern birds indicates that they were contemporaneous with dinosaurs. Indeed, evidence is mounting that these feathered creatures are in fact the highly evolved living incarnation of the terrible lizards. This long evolutionary history has allowed for the development of the many unique morphological, physical and behavioral attributes in birds that make the science of ornithology such an interesting vocation.

    Extractions: Big Sur Ornithology Lab Andrew Molera State Park is an important resting place and breeding ground for hundreds of species of migratory birds. To understand these incredibly diverse birds and monitor their populations, VWS created the Big Sur Ornithology Lab. Through daily censusing, researchers are able to collect information on the health and distribution of bird populations. Our research is part of a global effort helping recognize the need for habitat conservation throughout the world. The ornithology lab bands landbirds to identify migration routes, breeding and wintering areas, and mortality factors of common western birds. Band encounters as depicted on the map of band encounter locations indicate that some birds may breed as far north as Alaska and winter as far south as southern Mexico. See the Big Sur Ornithology Lab Update for the latest information about birds captured and banded in the area. Take our Bird Quiz to see if you recognize some of these birds. Our Featured Birds section gives detailed information about several local bird species. Don Roberson's website has photos and additional information about
