Bird Cams Inspire Gift in Will

Testimonial by Judy Howard and Chris Fisher

We have been addicted to the Cornell Lab’s hawk cam for two years and have branched out to the owl, osprey, and, of course, the albatross cam. Through the cams and the relationships that inevitably develop as one watches the chicks hatch, grow, mature, and fledge, we have come to have a deep appreciation for the Cornell Lab and its amazing accomplishments.

Many aspects of the physical world are endangered through the effects of human behavior. It is easy to despair and think there are no remedies. But the Lab’s work is evidence to the contrary. Cornell Lab staff work tirelessly to track the presence and health of bird populations around the world. Their research shows that with appropriate interventions, bird species can be saved and can flourish.

To contribute to the Lab’s long-term success, we have arranged a bequest in our will. We have made it unrestricted, knowing we can’t predict what the Lab’s long-term needs will be. Whatever they may be, we know the gift will be used wisely for the Lab’s critical work in bird study and conservation.
