Conservation NewsThere is so much out there! Here is a starter list of the must-see sites:
Cornell University has an excellent web site for the study of birds. The best part of this site is that Cornell offers the general public an opportunity to participate in actual ornithological studies. Research kits, reference guides and data forms are sent to willing participants of the program. When data is collected, it is sent back to the lab for analysis, study and even eventual publication. the following is a synopsis of this site's contents:
