Since 1994 Neotropical Bird Club, which is UK registered charity 1040130, has attracted over 1,200 members in 50 countries. Membership is open to all who have an interest in the wild birds of the New World tropics and their conservation - please join us.

What are the benefits of NBC membership?

NBC members receive two issues of Neotropical Birding and one bumper volume of Cotinga. The two publications are complementary, and both fill unique niches in the bird publications market:

Cotinga is now well established as a leading forum for publications of studies on Neotropical birds. Papers and short communications present new information on distribution, seasonality, biology and taxonomy. There is a special accent on globally threatened species. Cotinga is one of the few international journals partially or wholly devoted to Neotropical ornithology which still publishes avifaunal lists for sites or regions. Contributions are peer-reviewed and material is published in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Neotropical Birding is the only birding magazine to focus exclusively on the Neotropics and is packed with articles on all aspects of birding in the region. Features on rare birds and conservation sit alongside overviews of birding sites and identification workshops, accompanied by mouthwatering colour photographs throughout.
