One of my rural photos of mine featuring a meadowlark singing on a round bale of hay between Cleveland and Chinook, Montana appears on the cover of the “State of the Birds 2017” report by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a world leader in the study and conservation of birds. Founded in 1915, the Cornell Lab is a nonprofit organization supported by 100,000 friends and members. Its community includes 400,000 citizen-science participants from all walks of life and 14 million bird enthusiasts of all ages.

It’s an honor and pleasure to have one of my rural Montana photos appear on the cover of its annual report.
