Research
The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center is considered a national and international leader in the biology and conservation of migratory birds.
We train the next generation of ornithologists by sponsoring both undergraduate and graduate students at collaborating institutions (where we have adjunct faculty status), as well as in-house post-doctoral fellows.
