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...

The world has lost, or is on the brink of losing, many remarkable bird species. Meanwhile, many once-numerous bird populations are rapidly shrinking.

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...
