Florida Ornithological Society
The Florida Ornithological Society (FOS) is a Florida organization formed to promote field ornithology and facilitate contact between persons interested in birds.
It was founded October 14, 1972, under the sponsorship of the Florida Audubon Society, at a Lakeland, Florida, meeting attended by more than 100 ornithologists and serious birders.[1] [2]
The society's publications include the quarterly journal Florida Field Naturalist, a special publication series, and a quarterly newsletter.[2] Annual activities of the FOS include participation in the North American Migration Count and Christmas bird count.[3] The society also provides grants in aid for bird research and bird-related environmental education.[2]
