AOS member announcement: The AOS congratulates the winners of the 2026 AOS Achievement Awards. In a block quote style, the quote reads: "At a time when science is under attack, it is especially important to recognize meaningful science that advances the understanding and conservation of birds, and to recognize researchers whose creative work, careful implementation, and strong ethical standards guide the field of ornithology and demonstrate the integrity and the significance of science. Research is not done in a vacuum; it requires partnership, funding, education, and community." AOS Executive Director and CEO Judith Scarl
