	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.

		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.

		Ornithology is the study of the biology of birds.
		The Burke Museum's Ornithology Division contributes to the world's knowledge of birds by building and maintaining exceptionally well-curated collections of bird specimens for use in teaching, research, and art.
		Burke Ornithology staff and students are conducting a series of late-summer expeditions to assess which species are taking advantage of these wetter, food-rich areas, and whether any of the habitats they use while molting are sufficiently degraded by recent human activity to raise conservation concerns.

	BIRDNET: What is ornithology?
		Ornithology is a broad field, and there is room for everyone.
		Ornithology is one of the few sciences remaining where non-professionals regularly make significant contributions.
		The areas where non-professionals make their most important contributions are in the areas of distribution (finding out where birds occur naturally) - by contributing sight records, and in the understanding of changes in bird populations - through annual bird counts around the world.

	Careers in Ornithology
		The difference between a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree is that, in addition to graduate level course work, the student has to do a research project and present the project verbally and in writing to a committee of professors.
		This experience allows the student to get advanced training in the field of ornithology that cannot be had by coursework.
		Jobs in ornithology and environmental opportunities may not be as abundant or well-paid as those for computer software designers, but they are there and will continue to be as long as people are interested in birds and other wildlife.

		Descriptions of the species, including various new ones, and copious notes on their habits based partly on personal observations and partly on the writings of Wilson, Audubon and others, are united to form an authoritative and readable text.' Nuttall was one of the leading naturalists of the period.
		The original edition of 1867, entitled "Ornithology and Oology of New England" did not have the colored plates of birds, which seem to be after Audubon, nor did it have the expanded appendix which includes new species.
		In 1825-33, Bonaparte issued his American Ornithology, of birds inhabiting the United States not given by Wilson, an independent work designed on the same principles as that of Wilson, and therefore regarded as a sequel to that work, for which reason the two works were issued together in several editions."

	ornithology
		Ornithology is a zoological science that studies those creatures belonging to the Class Aves, much better known as birds.
		Indeed, evidence is mounting that these feathered creatures are in fact the highly evolved living incarnation of the terrible lizards.
		This long evolutionary history has allowed for the development of the many unique morphological, physical and behavioral attributes in birds that make the science of ornithology such an interesting vocation.
