Join or Renew Your Membership with WFO

Members of WFO receive four issues per year of Western Birds, regular newsletters, discounted rates for our highly acclaimed annual conferences, and the opportunity to register for WFO-sponsored tours. Life members receive extra benefits including advance registration for conferences and tours. Your membership dues go to support the only organization working to build a vibrant community among ornithologists and birders across western North America.

Membership in WFO is by volume of Western Birds which is organized by calendar year. When you join, you will receive all four issues of Western Birds in that year's volume, if the issues are available. If you would like to opt-out of receiving hard copies (and save trees), please send an email to treasurer@westernfieldornithologists.org.

Note: We use AplosPay for secure transactions. You may pay with your major credit or debit card through the secure portal. You also have the option of paying the transaction fees, click the box “Pay transaction fee for this donation."
