For Advertisers The Cornell Lab of Ornithology offers both online ads and print ads. Download ad rates at right, or contact the advertising manager, Susanna Lawson, for more information. Online advertising The Cornell Lab of Ornithology offers online ads at its All About Birds website and species guide. Ad contracts are for a minimum of three months and are paid quarterly. Advertisers can choose from a variety of standard packages, or we can prepare customized packages to suit your interests. Online ads are available on a variety of pages such as home, search by name/ shape/taxonomy, build ID skills, attract birds to your backyard, types of feeders/bird food, article archives, or live-streaming cams. Ads can also appear on one or more species pages in our online species guide. For example, a company that sells birdhouses might want to advertise on the species profiles of one or more common box-nesting species, such as Eastern Bluebird or Tree Swallow. Many bird species require good optics, and a high percent of birders photograph birds and other wildlife. If you are promoting bird watching, travel, or tours to specific regions or birding festivals, ads can be placed on bird species related to those destinations or events. For more information about our birding festivals, please visit our Festival Listing page.
