Florida Ornithological Society

The Florida Ornithological Society (FOS) is a Florida organization formed to promote field ornithology and facilitate contact between persons interested in birds.

It was founded October 14, 1972, under the sponsorship of the Florida Audubon Society, at a Lakeland, Florida, meeting attended by more than 100 ornithologists and serious birders. [ [http://www.fosbirds.org/Archives/TheBeginning.htm Ornithological Society Formed At Lakeland Meeting ] ]
