With it's Constitution and By-Laws, the Ohio Bird Banding Association (O.B.B.A.) was organized in 1981 and began regular meetings in August of that year. Our group is composed of concerned ornithologists who band birds to increase our understanding of avian ecology and migration. It also includes birding enthusiasts, who assist banders or wish to learn more about birds. All OBBA outings, meetings and activities are open to anyone! We encourage students, professors, teachers, etc., families and friends to come and learn about birds and nature.

OBBA is devoted to the understanding and conservation of birds that reside in or migrate through our state. There are over 100 licensed bird banders that operate in Ohio under the auspices of the USGS Biological Services Division and Ohio Division of Wildlife.

By becoming a member of OBBA today, you can enjoy many activities and benefits!
