	Ornithology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ornithology (from the Greek ornis = bird and logos = word/science) is the branch of zoology concerned with the scientific study of birds.
		Several aspects of the study of ornithology differ from closely related disciplines, perhaps because of the high visibility and the aesthetic appeal of birds.
		Optical instruments have been very important in ornithology; however approaches such as the use of radar and radio tracking are also used.

		The Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology, at Oxford University is an academic body which conducts research in ornithology and the general field of evolutionary ecology and conservation biology, with an emphasis on understanding organisms in natural environments.
		Hitherto mention has chiefly been made of works on general ornithology, but it will be understood that these were largely aided by the enterprise of travellers, and as there were many of them who published their narratives in separate forms their contributions have to be considered.
		The ornithology of Norway has been treated in a great many papers by Herr Collett, some of which may be said to have been separately published as Norges Fugle (8vo, 1868; with a supplement, 1871), and The Ornithology of Northern Norway (8vo, I872)this last in English.

	Services in Ornithology, Annual Report 2002-03 & 2003-04
		In pursuit of its aims, the Trust seeks to: conduct high-quality, impartial research in field ornithology; provide scientific evidence and advice on priority issues in bird conservation; and base this work on a partnership between amateurs and professionals, conducting fieldwork that is both enjoyable and scientifically rigorous.
		BTO contributes not only the fieldwork of the volunteers but also both the ornithological and ecological expertise of its staff and members and the experience that it has of organising large-scale surveys, collating the data, and analysing the results.
		This report covers BTO work under the Partnership during 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 (the final two years of the agreement), including much collation and analysis of studies for which the fieldwork was undertaken in previous years.

	SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Ornithology
		Fred Trueman enjoyed ornithology, a round of golf and a day s shooting, and he made no secret of his disappointment when the BBC dropped him, with no warning to speak of, from their commentary team after 25 years during which he came by the sobriquet of Sir Frederick and received a huge mail.
		The fact that ornithology, like archeology and butterfly-collecting, has often served as a cover for espionage and other extraterritorial political activity constitutes, in his opinion, a regrettable subordination of the affairs of birds to those of men and a distasteful violation of the rules of proportion...
		Fitzpatrick, of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York, responded that the angle of the video shows white plumage on the upper surface of the wings that is unlike the pattern on a pileated woodpecker, and the fl trailing edge of the pileated wing is absent from the bird they found.

		The report by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) has said the garden's role in providing a haven for wild birds is equally as important, and millions of pairs of birds have chosen to nest in Britain.
		The survey by the Game Conservancy Trust is also good news for a bird species that had plummeted in the 1950s and 1960s because of intensive farming.
		But a spokesman for the BTO has said the long term population trend for the grey partridge is still downwards.

		The move is in response to new research showing that sparrow numbers over the last 30 years have fallen from 12 million pairs to fewer than 7 million pairs, with the most marked decline in suburban and urban gardens.
		The latest initiative, launched on the same day as a conference on the plight of the sparrow in London's City Hall, is aimed in particular at gardeners in London and the south east of England where populations have declined most rapidly.
		Rosie Cleary, house sparrow officer for the British Trust for Ornithology, said: "The disappearance of house sparrows seems to be connected to the way we build our houses and the ease with which birds can find food.

		The data collected over the last few years, including the 1999 BTO survey, is being used to prepare a leaflet encouraging landowners to create nightingale (scrub) habitat on their land.

	In Europe, the case of the missing sparrows \| csmonitor.com
		Dubbed Britain's "sparrow czar," she has just taken charge of a nationwide survey of the sparrow population for the British Trust for Ornithology.
		The British Trust for Ornithology is calling on thousands of volunteers across the country to report on sparrows they see over the next 18 months, to try to clarify what is happening.
		A key problem, a number of experts agree, appears to lie in a shortage of the tiny insects that fledgling sparrows need during the first three or four days of their lives, before they move on to a vegetation diet.
