Welcome! |

We are an independent, non-profit
educational organization founded in 1951 and dedicated to the
observation, study, and conservation of birds. Our diverse
membership, which includes individuals of all ages, is composed
of both beginning birders and professional ornithologists. The
observation and study of birds is a prominent example of a
scientific field in which amateurs have made major
contributions. As a member of the OOS, you will have many unique
opportunities to cultivate your interest in birds. |

Important Bird Areas |
Important Bird Areas, or IBAs, are sites that provide essential habitat
for one or more species of bird. In 2006 the OK Audubon Council began
a state IBA program, appointing Eric Beck as our
State IBA Coordinator.
Many OOS members serve on the
Technical Committee that is currently evaluating area
for inclusion as IBAs.

program. |

OK Wild Bird Wiki |
The
purpose of the
OK Wild Bird Wiki is to allow
Oklahoma birders to share their knowledge of Oklahoma
birds with the Oklahoma birding community. The Wiki
allows visitors to search for information on Oklahoma
birds and to enter new records of interest. |
