The Ornithological Council is an umbrella organization formed by seven North American ornithological groups. They provide information on conservation and public education campaigns as well as links to local chapters. For the last three years, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph and Birdlife International have jointly sponsored the annual World Bird Count. The popularity of birding has given rise to a number of electronic magazines primarily targeted to amateurs. As a group, birders are highly prolific producers of web sites.
Several sites provide comprehensive listings of bird-related sites on the Internet.
The world wide web changes frequently.
