Dr. John Smallwood began studying birds in 1979 and is internationally recognized for his expertise on the American Kestrel, a species of falcon. John was recruited to serve on the editorial board and was subsequently elected to be Editor of the Wilson Ornithological Society<\/a>‘s journal, The Wilson Bulletin<\/em><\/a>, for three consecutive years. During this time, between 2001-2004, the editorial office was operated out of Science Hall. He was elected Secretary, an executive officer position, of the Wilson Ornithological Society<\/a> for 16 one-year terms, the most terms for an individual in the society’s 130-year history. Within that society John has a reputation as the society’s walking institutional memory<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Wilson Ornithological Society, John has been an active member in the Raptor Research Foundation, with six three-year terms on the Board of Directors. He was also an associate editor of the Journal of Raptor Research<\/a>, the top peer-reviewed journal for the study of predatory birds.<\/p>\n

With this background, and over 15 years as an Elective Member in the American Ornithological Society<\/a>, John was a clear choice in the eyes of the AOS, formerly the American Ornithologists’ Union to be named a Fellow. This past August John was nominated and later elected to be a Fellow in the Society, where he joins over 400 others in this distinct group.
