We invite you to join us for the Associations of Field Ornithologists’ Annual Meeting in Ogden, UT, July 29-August 1, 2025!
WELCOME!
After hosting successful meetings in the eastern US and in South America, we are thrilled to bring AFO back to the western US for the first time in 15 years.
We are planning an exciting and diverse scientific program, highlighting research from professional and avocational ornithologists from across the Americas. This year the Western Bird Banding Society will join our meeting to highlight the importance of bird banding across broader ornithological research. Now in our 103rd year as a society, we hope you will join us in celebrating the valuable natural history and conservation work of our attendees.
