Kentucky Ornithological Society

Kentucky Ornithological Society
Founded 1923

Members of the Kentucky Ornithological Society enjoy birds!
We seek to create and increase interest in birds in Kentucky, and support the conservation of birds and their habitats. We also promote avian research. Anyone interested in birds may join our Society! We encourage you to check out our website to learn more about us and, of course, more about the birds of Kentucky.

KOS members receive The Kentucky Warbler (the official publication of KOS). The Warbler is published quarterly and includes seasonal reports of bird observations throughout the state, original research articles, field notes, and news about KOS and its members. Members may also participate in a variety of activities, including annual spring & fall meetings, field trips, and Christmas Bird Counts. To join the fun, click here!
