The focus is always on birds and birding. IFO workshops are designed to provide a comprehensive look at bird biology, including life history, ecology, behavior, and field identification. Most workshops emphasize field identification and the natural history and conservation of birds.
Instructional time is split approximately equally between field and classroom sessions.
American Birding Association endorses a number of tours operated by various tour operators because many factors suggest that a particularly fine birding experience will be gained by participants in these tours. If you are interested in any of the ABA-sponsored tours, please contact the tour company directly for information and reservations. Tour operators have agreed to return to ABA a percentage of the tour's cost for participating ABA members. So, if you are an ABA member, please identify yourself as such.
