[cobirds] Western Field Ornithologists Paper Deadline Extended to July 12

COBirders,

WFO has extended its paper deadline to July 12. This is a great opportunity to present original research or summarize existing unpublished information to an engaged audience of serious amateur and professional field ornithologists. 

The 2021 annual conference of Western Field Ornithologists will be held virtually from Thursday, August 26 through Sunday, August 29. Science sessions will be held for two hours each of the four days of the conference.

 

Talks relating to the following themes are solicited:

• Status, distribution, migration, and population dynamics of birds
• Systematics and biogeography of birds
• Ecology, behavior, and evolution of birds
• New information on avian field identification problems
• Science-based conservation and management of birds
• Techniques for field study of birds, including censusing, monitoring, and other methods; and results of studies applying such techniques

Research described should apply to birds of the WFO region: western North America (from Alaska through Mexico, and the Great Plains to the Pacific coast) and the eastern Pacific Ocean. All talks should identify study objectives, describe methods and data analysis, present results, discuss the significance of the research and propose future research directions. Oral presentations will be allotted 18 minutes, including 3 minutes for questions and discussion.

 

For consideration, submit an abstract of your presentation to Steve Rottenborn at srottenborn@harveyecology.com no later than July 12, and include a brief (60-word maximum) bio for the presenting author. Presenters do not need to be CFO or WFO members.

As a reminder, CFO and WFO are partner organizations, extending certain member benefits such as conference attendance, field trip participation and discounted full memberships to each group's members. More information is available on the CFO website.

Best,

Peter Burke
