Welcome to the Delaware Ornithological Society

DOS is supporting the second Frontiers in Ornithology: A Symposium for Youth and seeks your help.  This unique symposium is held for young people with an interest in ornithology and related fields of study.  DOS is providing up to $2500 in matching funds for DOS member donations.  Double your donation by contributing online using the button or sending your check to the address below.

The second Frontiers in Ornithology Symposium will be held on Saturday, November 4,2023, at the Ashland Nature Center in Hockessin, Delaware.  It is focused on providing information to youths aged 13-22 about cutting-edge technologies being used in avian research and conservation, careers in ornithology, and how to pursue their interests in either higher education or vocationally. It will feature a full day of seminars, keynotes, and networking opportunities for the youths to interact with the speakers.

The first symposium in 2019 was conceived by the late Bill Stewart and was a tremendous success due to donations from organizations like DOS and from people like you.  It was sold out with participants from 14 states! You can view a brief video that captures the inaugural event and find more information on the Frontiers website: https://frontiersinornithology.com/

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Keynote Speaker is Dr. Viviana Ruiz Gutierrez, Co-Director of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Center for Avian Population Studies, and Leader of the Lab’s Conservation Science Program.

Take advantage of this opportunity to double your impact and support the future of avian conservation and science.  Your donation is tax-deductible.
