Absolutely top rate and deserving of support. Not only do we belong and
get the outstanding magazine and superb newsletter but we also contribute
an extra financial gift each year to support the important research work
they are doing. Hey, all of your best bird sounds and recordings are a
result of Cornell's work. But that is only the tip of the iceberg!
