Sandra Scott Travels: This One’s For The Birds

October 26, 2018 Contributor

The leaves are falling and there is snow in the air but there will still be a couple of warm, sunny days perfect for a jaunt in the woods. Recently, John and I were at Cornell’s Ornithology Lab where we watched a video in the theater detailing the patience and endurance of photographers trying to get an image of a bird-of-paradise in New Guinea. They also have a lab where one can listen to and learn bird sounds. On the massive wall they have a world map mural that shows one bird for each of 243 bird families. […]
