Iowa Ornithologists' Union

The Iowa Ornithologists' Union (IOU) is a non-profit group, organized in 1923 to promote the enjoyment and study of birds. The goal of the IOU is to encourage interest in the identification, study, and protection of birds in Iowa and to unite those who have these interests in common. The IOU serves as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas about field identification, birding locations, habitat, and distribution. There are meetings held twice a year, and the IOU also publishes a variety of resources, including Iowa Bird Life, IOU News, the Field Checklist of Birds, the Iowa Birding Atlas (1996), and maintains related information on its website.
