With partners, the Cornell Lab produced two landmark documents for large-scale conservation this year. Saving Our Shared Birds: The Partners in Flight Tri-National Vision for Landbird Conservation, is the first comprehensive assessment of the 882 landbird species shared by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The 2010 State of the Birds Report on Climate Change brought together the nation’s leading science and wildlife organizations to inform national policy makers. Left to right, species highlighted in the Partners in Flight Tri-National Vision: Maroon-fronted Parrot, Golden-winged Warbler, Ocellated Turkey, Tufted Jay, Tody Motmot, Harpy Eagle.

2010 JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT A Perpetual Legacy As the Cornell Lab works on behalf of threatened and en- dangered species, one of our greatest challenges is limited sources of funding for these efforts. In 2010, we were hon- ored to learn of a bequest from the estate of long-time donor Madelon Wehner. Mrs. Wehner’s dream was to cre- ate a legacy that would en- able the Cornell Lab to ap- ply its resources toward the most endangered species we study. Already this is having a tremendous impact on our 15 programs, including ground- breaking research on New Guinea’s birds-of-paradise. Large or small, all planned and estate gifts to the Lab have the potential to create a powerful legacy for the future of birds and conservation. Please consider including us in your estate today.
