| The Wisconsin Society for Ornithology was organized in 1939 to encourage
the study of Wisconsin birds. The aims have since expanded to emphasize all of
the many enjoyable aspects of birding and to support the research and habitat
protection necessary to preserve Wisconsin birdlife. WSO strives to alert members
and the public to situations and practices that threaten Wisconsin's bird populations.
Members in the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology include those
who enjoy birds attracted to their homes by feeders and bird houses, those who
pursue field study or bird banding as a hobby, and those who engage in ornithology
professionally. Membership exceeds 1500 from across the United States and around
the world.
