We are delighted that you have chosen to attend the largest meeting of ornithologists ever to be held in Canada. On behalf of the Steering Committee for the nine societies involved in organizing the 5th North American Ornithological Conference (NAOC–V), and the Local Organizing Committee, I enthusiastically welcome you to Canada and to the University of British Columbia for what will be an exciting and well-attended meeting. Our expectation is that by convening with so many colleagues to share ideas and expertise, we will strengthen the science and the practice of ornithology in the Americas, and also forge many new research collaborations and friendships.

Over 1,400 participants from 25 countries will assemble under the NAOC-V banner for 4 days

of intensive scientific exchange. Participants will address the key ornithological challenges for birds in the Western Hemisphere and take home a more complete understanding of the key issues and questions. We offer opportunities ranging from plenary talks summarizing topics of general relevance, to hands-on techniques workshops, student mentoring programs and field trips. The core scientific content of the meeting will be research presentations on the most recent advances in all aspects of ornithology, including conservation and management, and learning effective communication through the scientific press and the popular media.

From time immemorial, humans have been fascinated and inspired by birds. Our conference theme, From Sea to Sky, and our birdslogo reflect have an the annual fact that cycle birds that inhabitencompasses an incredible both Northern diversity and of Southernhabitats aroundcontinents, the globeand depend -- from on the combinations open ocean ofto northern, altitudes temperatehigher than and the tropical highest habitatsmountains for andsurvival. all intermediary For example, habitats. only 22% Bird of flight Canadian also shapes bird species avian spendconservation the whole initiatives year in asCanada. many To preserve whole communities of birds, cooperation among ornithological societies, and collaboration between scientists and practitioners across political and institutional boundaries is an imperative. In 1994, NAOC emerged to meet such challenges, and the first four meetings were a huge success.

NORTH AMERICAN GRASSLANDS Less than 20 percent of North America’s native grasslands remain intact and less than three percent lies within protected areas. The CEC cooperates with Canada, Mexico and the United States to use birds as a key indicator of overall grasslands health through a variety of approaches:

Q Beneﬁcial management practices that include bird conservation Q Ongoing bird monitoring in the Chihuahua Desert Grasslands in Mexico Q North American Conservation Action Plans (NACAPs) for two species: Burrowing Owl (Athene curicularia) and Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis) Q Support for bird monitoring capacity through the CEC-initiated North American Burrowing Owl

Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI) Ferruginous Hawk
