Living Bird Magazine is a Cornell Lab of Ornithology publication. You receive this magazine with your membership. It has long been regarded as a leading publication in the field of ornithology and birding, and it certainly lives up to its well-deserved reputation.

I find this magazine to be an absolute treasure trove of information, breathtaking photography, and thought-provoking articles. The magazine covers a wide range of ornithological topics, from behavioral studies and conservation efforts to articles on identification and habitat preservation. Every issue is packed with incredible images that capture the beauty and diversity of birds from around the globe.


In terms of its publication quality, Living Bird is top-notch. The layout and design are visually appealing, with clean typography and well-organized sections that make for easy navigation. The inclusion of maps and infographics adds an extra layer of understanding and enhances the overall reading experience.


In conclusion, Living Bird Magazine is an indispensable resource for anyone with an interest in birds, ornithology, and conservation. Its engaging articles, breathtaking photography, and commitment to raising awareness make it a must-read for bird watchers of all levels of expertise. I’ll have to admit - it is my favorite magazine.

For avid bird enthusiasts and conservationists alike, Bird Conservation Magazine remains an indispensable resource that navigates the ever-changing landscape of avian conservation efforts worldwide. You will receive this publication with your American Bird Conservation membership.

Another commendable aspect of Bird Conservation Magazine is its commitment to showcasing success stories in bird conservation. Some of the other bird magazines (in my opinion) generally focus on the bad news, Bird Conservation Magazine often showcases the good news and success stories of conservation.

Overall, Bird Conservation Magazine is an excellent resource for bird related news and articles. Expertly blending scientific research, engaging storytelling, and striking visuals, each issue serves as a call to action to protect the world's feathered treasures.
