ZEISS Sponsorships
			eBird: A joint project of ZEISS, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon, eBird provides on-line listing for birders. Sightings entered become part of a world-wide data base of bird numbers and distribution that is available to researchers and birders alike. One of the most important Citizen Science projects of our time!
			ZEISS/CMBO Morning Flight Project: a unique program to observe, record, and analyze the dawn spectacle of 1000s of song birds and raptors winging their way north along the Delaware river during southern migration. ZEISS optics make it possible to identify birds at a glimpse, even in the half light.
			The Search for the Ivory Bill Woodpecker: ZEISS sponsored a 2002 search for the bird many believed extinct. More recently, after confirmed sightings in Arkansas, ZEISS provided optics to the search teams fielded under the Big Woods Coalition. The possible rediscovery of this magnificent bird has inspired people world-wide.
			World Series of Birding: ZEISS has sponsored a team in this premiere competitive birding event since its founding more than 20 years ago. This year we became the corporate sponsor for the Youth Division. The competition is all in fun...the funds raised for conversation are a serious matter.
			The Great Texas Birding Classic: The second-best known competitive birding event. ZEISS teams compete regularly. This year's ZEISS Louisiana State University Tiger Herons took the College Challenge. Again, the competition is not the point. Conservation is.
