ITHACA, N.Y. — The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's "All About Birds" website will be celebrated alongside film critic Roger Ebert, rock band OK Go, comedian Jim Carrey and Twitter in the 14th annual Webby Awards.

The Webbys, which honor Internet achievement, were announced by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-member group of Web experts. The awards ceremony is June 14 in New York City.

"All About Birds" won the Best Lifestyle Site award. The site helps people identify and learn about nearly 600 species of North American birds and features photos, sounds, and videos. It also has bird-feeding tips, gear reviews, and an online magazine.

This year's competition received nearly 10,000 entries from more than 60 countries and all 50 states.

1. I've been a member of that organization since before they had a website.

:-)
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is one of the best and most timely sources of information that you can find. It is very interactive with its members--a lot of information sharing.

Sadly, I am sure they will soon be compiling the sad statistics of what is going on with this massive oil spill. I imagine that those birds that migrate up my way might even be effected. :(
