Science of Birds – Ornithology

Banding Marbled Godwit

Ornithology is the science of birds and has many practitioners with advanced degrees, several universities that offer related degrees, and many organizations and journals that serve to disseminate the information in the field. There are very few universities that offer degrees in ornithology, though. See Careers in Ornithology for detailed information on training and jobs. There are many ornithologists working in the public and private sector, in the field, in museums, and in the lab. If you want to find out more about what professional ornithologists do, some resources are listed below.
