A Brief Description of the Professional Ornithologist

Aug 28, 2006 Rosemary Drisdelle

This brief article describes the profession of ornithologist and the scientific field of ornithology.

An ornithologist is a scientist who studies birds (ornithology) in an academic setting and has made birds his or her specialty. Ornithologists participate in scientific studies of all aspects of the natural history of birds, both living and extinct. Ornithologists continually add to our knowledge of birds and help guide bird conservation efforts.
