 Websites presented in alphabetical order The Fatbirder Web Site 
 This site provides over a thousand links to "all aspects of birding - ornithology, birdwatching as a hobby, conservation, where to buy optics, holidays," identification guides, birding news, and much more. http://www.fatbirder.com/ Topics: Biology, Birds, Hobbies, Outdoor Recreation, Sports, Recreation, & Entertainment Last updated Dec 12, 2001 ORNIS (Ornithological Information System)
This site features a database of thousands of bird specimen records from nearly three dozen North American biocollections, most of which are available online. Collection data may be searched by factors such as scientific name, location, and date collected. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation and is led by individuals at the University of Kansas and the University of California, Berkeley. http://olla.berkeley.edu/ornisnet/ Topics: Biology, Birds Last updated Jan 5, 2007 Ornithological Worldwide Literature (OWL)
"OWL is a compilation of citations and abstracts from the worldwide scientific literature that pertain to the science of ornithology. ... OWL deals chiefly with serial publications," and does not deal with domestic or pet birds. Searchable. A joint effort between the American Ornithologists' Union, the British Ornithologists' Union, and Birds Australia. http://egizoosrv.zoo.ox.ac.uk/OWL/ Topics: Biology, Nonfiction by Genre Last updated Jul 2, 2004 Ornithology.com
At first glance this site appears to be nothing but advertisements, but if you concentrate on the left menu, the site map, and the FAQ, you will find plenty of information and links about wild birds, birds in zoos and backyards, birdwatching, endangered and extinct birds, careers in ornithology, ornithologists, and more. Texts of lectures by the site author, an ornithology professor at California State University, Chico, are also available. http://www.ornithology.com/ Topics: Biology, Birds, Hobbies, Outdoor Recreation, Sports, Recreation, & Entertainment Last updated Jun 15, 2005 |
