The Georgia
Ornithological Society's (GOS) mission is to encourage the scientific study
of birds by gathering and disseminating information on Georgia bird life.
GOS actively promotes bird conservation by encouraging the preservation of
habitats that are vital to the survival of resident and migratory birds. The
GOS also gives scholarships, produces scientific publications, and provides
fellowship among those interested in nature.
