Who We Are

OSU Bird Nerds is a student run ornithological club at OSU. Our mission is to provide OSU students with an opportunity to learn more about the amazing world of birds through bird-related activities, résumé-building experiences, speakers from the ornithological community, species identification workshops, and field trips and to share the knowledge gained from these activities with the Corvallis birding community through volunteer, education, and conservation involvement.
