Society for the Conservation and Study of Caribbean Birds

The Society for the Conservation and Study of Caribbean Birds (SCSCB) is an ornithological non-profit organization. It strives to protect Caribbean birds and their habitats through education, research, conservation action and capacity building. It is the largest bird conservation organization in the Caribbean region, including the Bahamas and Bermuda as well as the islands within the Caribbean basin. It was founded in 1988 and is a member of the Ornithological Council. This organization is a sponsor of International Migratory Bird Day. In July 2013 it is hosting its 19th regional conference, Bird Conservation in a Changing Climate, in Grenada.

The Society produces the journal The Journal of Caribbean Ornithology (formerly El Pitirre) which publishes papers in English, French and Spanish, a newsletter Birds Caribbean, and local field guides.
