The Chicago Birder is the flagship magazine published quarterly exclusively for COS members.

The Chicago Birder started as a simple paper newsletter mailed to members with club news. Later it became a PDF newsletter sent via email monthly or bi-monthly. Now The Chicago Birder has evolved into a genuine journal for birders in the Chicago area, featuring work by local writers and photographers.
