Western Birds solicits papers that contribute significantly to the scientific literature and that are useful and accessible to professional and amateur field ornithologists. The journal welcomes contributions from professional and amateur scientists alike. Appropriate topics include distribution, migration, status, identification, geographic variation, conservation, behavior, ecology, population dynamics, habitat requirements, the effects of pollution, and techniques for censusing, sound recording, and photographing birds in the field. Papers of general interest will be considered regardless of their geographic origin, but particularly desired are reports of studies done in or bearing on the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states and provinces, including Alaska and Hawai'i, western Texas, northwestern Mexico, and the northeastern Pacific Ocean. |

Back issues (1970–2008) of Western Birds are now available and searchable online at the Searchable Ornithological Research Archives (SORA) website maintained by the University of New Mexico. This was made possible by generous contributions from WFO’s members to our Publication Fund and by additional fundraising by the WFO Board. We are very grateful to all for their contributions, and we hope that everyone with an interest in field ornithology in western North America will take advantage of the easy accessibility of past issues of the journal.
To view back issues, go to the SORA homepage, click on the link to California Birds/Western Birds, select the appropriate year and issue, and choose the article you are seeking.
To search for articles by keyword, author, or title, simply check the box for Western Birds, enter your search phrase, and click on “Submit.” The articles that appear are downloadable as PDFs.
Our hope is to update Western Birds on SORA regularly, so that all but the most recent two volumes of the journal are available at the site.
Thanks again to those generous members who donated funding to support making Western Birds more available to researchers and the public through this wonderful resource. Happy viewing!
