Organized by Cornell University Library in collaboration with Cornell Botanic Gardens, Keeping Common Birds Common features unforgettable portraits of birds by wildlife photographer Marie Read, taken in biodiverse habitats maintained by the Gardens. This exhibit shows how managed landscapes that integrate principles of habitat conservation and native plant gardening have a key role to play in protecting and nurturing the beautiful birds that visit our backyards, neighborhoods, parks, fields, and forests, with the hopes of keeping these common birds common forever. Keeping Common Birds Common is concurrent with related exhibits at Mann Library: Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction...

Acorns have been utilized as a food resource by many different people and cultures for millennia. However, many modern cultures have ‘forgotten’ that acorns are even edible! There are many reasons to focus on acorns as a modern food resource. For one, acorns are rich in carbohydrates, healthy fats, fiber, potassium, and other nutrients. Another is that in the face of impending climate change and instability of food systems, acorns provide an abundant supply of locally available foods. This workshop will provide some background about the nutritional value of acorns and the history of their...

The world has lost, or is on the brink of losing, many remarkable bird species. Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking. In North America alone, research led by Cornell scientists has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades, reflecting widespread pressures such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species. A collaboration among Cornell University Library, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Cornell Museum of Vertebrates, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights...
