For the Birds
Cornell Lab of Ornithology
at
Sapsucker Woods

By Randolph Scott Little

"The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology is unique in the world -- a confluence in Sapsucker Woods of scientific research, higher education, global public outreach, citizen science, and conservation of biodiversity.  From its origins in a crowded office on the Cornell campus to the opening of a world-class research facility and visitors' center nearly a century later, this fascinating account chronicles how Arthur Allen's dream came to play such a crucial role in American ornithology and bird conservation."

--John W. Fitzpatrick
   Louis Agassiz Fuertes Director, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology

For the Birds is the story of the Laboratory of Ornithology as reported by one observer and witnessed by many others who have magnanimously shared their recollections.  This book will make interesting reading for any person who has ever marveled at the freedom of birds to fly.  On a more specific level, it will be "required reading" for everyone henceforth involved with the Lab, that they may better understand and appreciate the heritage of that organization.

Randolph Scott Little is a life member of the American Ornithologist's Union, a director of the Laboratory of Ornithology, the New Jersey Audubon Society and the Cornell Society of Engineers, a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and a voting member of the Association for Computing Machinery.
