The Maryland Yellowthroat
The Maryland Ornithological Society’s membership is an active one. We travel across our great state, the country, and all over the world to observe birds and experience the thrill of birding. Each issue of The Maryland Yellowthroat is packed with information about the state of birds in Maryland, details on bird-related conservation issues, feature articles, information about birds walks, meetings, field trips, and calls to action — all from our membership.
Bird conservation is at the center of each issue. Upcoming issues will continue to highlight conservation matters as they pertain to Maryland and encourage our membership to participate.
Designed and edited by Dave Wood, and copyedited by Kathy Brown, The Maryland Yellowthroat is free to all MOS members.
Chapter Chatter
Members report on their most recent sightings, excursions, and bird-/conservation- related achievements via our club section the Chapter Chatter. Club-related articles should go to Jean Wheeler, editor of Chapter Chatter.
