You can take a virtual tour of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology here (QuickTime format).

It is curently fashionable to large conservation organizations with large budgets because it is as banal and inocuous as it is silly. Like labeling places on a map "IBA"s or making PIF lists..."

CLO, IBA, PIF. Nothing but useless leftovers created out of the Snobbery of the Clueless Elite.

Not a bird saved by it all. But a bird resurrected from the dead for a year. That's what we are left with.

Let's make another PIF list, Birds Resurrected and Lost Again.

Such cynicism and mean attacks are a drag on everyone else and do no good whatsoever. The CLO does great research, education, and good for birds, even if they made a mistake on the IBWO affair.

The CLO has not saved one bird, not would not have been saved. The CLO has not done any research, that would not have been done.

And finally, the CLO has not saved one bit of significant habitat, period.

The sounds remind me of the 1963 movie, The Birds. You might hear an occasional titmouse, robin, g-c kinglet, white-throat, sapsucker tapping, chickadee, downy, house sparrow, crow, and a red-wing. But the geese, jays, mallards, and nuthatches screaming in your ears (and scratching for food in your nose) are darn scary. Don't use headphones children.

Well, if that's the case then it's your own fault! This is a democracy! Change politics, make new laws, interfere!
In Europe, IBAs have made a HUGE difference and promoted conservation immensely.
So sorry, armchair ticks may be fine, but armchair conservation won't work.
