Discover more at an American Birding Association Institute of Ornithology (IFO) Program by joining The Cradle of American Ornithology IFO in Philadelphia March 30 – April 3 2106.

The City of Brotherly Love is the birthplace of our nation, but also the birthplace of bird study in North America. Join Pennsylvania natives Bert Filemyr, Ted Floyd and George Armistead as they retrace the steps of luminaries such as Audubon, Wilson, Cassin, Say, and Bond (yes, James Bond!). We'll examine the rich history of this area and go birding too, visiting a variety of birding and historical sites.

The ABA's *Institute for Field Ornithology traces its origins back to 1983. The IFO was created as an ABA member service with the goal of offering novel opportunities for the study of birds.
