Educational Resources
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has multiple ways for people to learn more about birds. More structured avenues include the self-paced, college-level Home Study Course in Bird Biology. The BirdSleuth curriculum is designed to help elementary and middle-school students discover science through bird projects. A five-week online course "Courtship and Rivalry in Birds" is now available through eCornell.
The Lab is also runs the subscription resource Birds of North America Online, which contains all the latest scientific research available for each North American species and includes sounds, images, and some video.
Informal resources include the All About Birds website with its online bird guide with pictures, sounds, and video for hundreds of North American bird species. A new video series called Inside Birding provides tips from the experts on how to get more out of the pastime.

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or resources:
“We do not have to get our children to learn; only to allow and encourage them in their learning. We do not have to dictate what they should learn; only to discern and respond to what it is that they are learning. Such responsiveness is at once the most educational and the most loving.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“...wasting the energies of the race by neglecting to develop the intelligence of the members to whom its most precious resources must be entrusted, already seems a childish absurdity.”
—Anna Eugenia Morgan (1845–1909)
