What is the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (CLO)?
CLO is a nonprofit membership institution whose mission is to interpret and conserve the earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds. Our programs work with citizen scientists, government and non government agencies across North America and beyond. We believe that bird enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels can and do make a difference. For a small annual fee of $40, CLO members receive Living Bird, our award-winning quarterly magazine; BirdScope, the CLO newsletter, and discounts on: • Purchases made at Wild Birds Unlimited at Sapsucker Woods • Lab workshops and courses • Citizen Science Projects that require a fee • Our Home Study Course in Bird Biology • Orders from our Color Slide Catalog • 10% discount at the Courtyard by Mariott (Ithaca, NY), which provides free transport to the Lab of Ornithology and Cornell University campus.
