The German Ornithologists' Society is one of the world's oldest existing scientific societies. The DO-G was founded in 1850. Its original goal - to support and further scientific ornithology on all levels - has remained unchanged. [Information of the supplier]
BirdLife is the largest organization for ornithology and the protection of birds in Austria and the only one active throughout the entire country. BirdLife Austria protects birds in Austria: through scientific work, which represents the basis for successful protection of nature; with the help of concrete conservation programmes for threatened species and their habitats; and by providing information to the public on current topics relating to the protection of birds. Furthermore: we are involved in protecting the areas in Austria that are most important to birds; and by means of advice and lobbying we help ensure observance of the legal instruments to protect birds. ...

Im Mai 1965 hatte die „Tiroler Vogelwarte“ nach Innsbruck zu einer Tagung von „Alpenornithologen“ eingeladen. Sie stand unter dem Thema „Feldornithologisches Arbeiten im Gebirge“ und wurde zur Gründungsversammlung einer Gemeinschaft von Ornithologen aus Österreich, der Schweiz und Bayern. Ein wesentliches Ziel war von Anfang an, Kontakt unter den im Alpenraum tätigen Ornithologen herzustellen und das Wissen um die Vogelwelt der Alpen voranzubringen. Dies ist im Wesentlichen bis heute so geblieben. Der gesellschaftliche Wandel machte es allerdings erforderlich, die ehemals „lose Gesellschaft“ auf ein sicheres Fundament zu stellen. So wurde am 13. Juni 2008 in Fieschertal im Schweizer Kanton Wallis der Verein Monticola - Internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Alpenornithologie e. V. gegründet. Der Steinrötel (Monticola saxatilis) als ein typischer Vertreter der Alpenvögel ist das Logo der Arbeitsgemeinschaft. Zur Mitgliedschaft eingeladen sind nicht nur in den Alpen wohnende Ornithologen sondern auch diejenigen, die vielleicht nur gelegentlich Exkursionen in den Alpen unternehmen und an der Vogelwelt interessiert sind. ...

Limicola, Zeitschrift für Feldornithologie, is a periodical for all topics of field ornithology and bird observation in the palaeartic, especially in Europe and German-speaking countries. Determination of birds, their distribution, behavior, ecology, breeding biology and migration are main topics. Some papers about determination of similar bird species and a checklist of German birds are available. The German Rarities Committee (Deutsche Seltenheitenkommission = DSK) is also available. The DSK is an independent, scientific committee for the evaluation of reports on rare birds. Besides this another duty of the DSK is to analyze and publish these data. Some papers about the occurrence of rare birds, a checklist of German rare birds and a report form is provided. ... [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]

In two centuries of American ornithology, The Birds of North America (BNA) is only the fourth comprehensive reference covering the life histories of North American birds. This series provides detailed scientific for each of the 716 species of birds nesting in the USA and Canada. The print version of BNA was completed in 2002. Now as an online project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, BNA is poised to become a living resource. BNA Online will build image and video galleries showing behaviors, habitat, nests, eggs and nestlings. BNA Online offers subscriptions for individuals using a single user name and password. ...

OWL is a compilation of citations and abstracts from the worldwide scientific literature that pertain to the science of ornithology. A major attraction is its coverage of the 'grey' literature, which are not abstracted by commercial databases such as Zoological Record or the Science Citation Index. OWL deals chiefly with serial publications such as periodicals but also announces new and renamed journals and provides abstracts of other serial publications, conference proceedings, reports, and doctoral dissertations. Papers dealing exclusively with domestic and pet birds and their husbandry are excluded unless they are applicable to non-domestic birds. OWL was previously known as the Recent Ornithological Literature (ROL) or as Recent Ornithological Literature Online (ROLO). The scope of OWL will be more than just the "recent" literature of ornithology. Eventually, the online database will go back 50 or more years to acquire citations to the serial literature. OWL will proceed well into this century with a database of the current worldwide literature that would be of interest to ornithologists. ... [Information of the supplier]
