Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond
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...

Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction
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...

A Botanist’s Dilemma: The Defiant Nature of the Banana Plant
In, A Botanist’s Dilemma: The Defiant Nature of the Banana Plant, artist Faye Pamintuan uses the lens of plant movement, adaptation, and the deep relationship between humans and plants to examine her own diasporic experience. With the banana plant 's journey as a starting point and through the manipulation of abaca (a banana tree indigenous to the Philippines) as paper pulp material along with paintings, ceramics, and installation, she creates imagined landscapes that trace, question, and challenge the relationship between the Philippines and the United States. Guided tours of these exhibits will take place on Thursday, April 9, 2026 from 3...
