American Birding Association
The American Birding Association (ABA) is a non-profit organization of people interested in birding. Begun in 1968, the ABA is the only organization in North America that specifically caters to recreational birders. Membership is open to all. Originally formed as an organization to focus entirely on birding for fun and for its own sake, many of its publications and programs were aimed at birders interested in difficult field identifications and finding rare species. It has been called "the standard-bearer for serious birding in North America." In more recent years, the ABA membership has drawn more broadly from the entire range of birders and the topics in its publications have become equally diverse.

“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
