New sound engineers can receive training at our annual recording seminar to learn how to become professional live sound engineers, or use our online resources for quick coaching. About the Macaulay family The Macaulay Library is named in honor of two avid birdwatchers, Linda and William (Bill) Macaulay, whose generous donations helped create the Macaulay Library's outstanding new home in the Sapsak Forest. This state-of-the-art facility includes customized studios, advanced fiber optic connections, spacious offices, and climate controlled archive storage. Macaulay's contribution far exceeds financial support. Linda Macaulay has nearly 6000 bird song recordings of over 2600 species of birds, making her one of the most productive and talented contributors to the library's sound archives, and an excellent example of a dedicated citizen scientist. In many cases, Linda was the first person to record several species in the wild, and to this day, only she has recorded over 300 species. Through cooperation with the First Reserve Company, chaired by Bill, the Macaulay couple went to many hard to reach places that few tourists (even avid birdwatchers) had ever seen before. Wherever they went, they brought their recording equipment with them. In 2010, in recognition of Linda Macaulay's outstanding contributions to ornithology, the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology awarded her the prestigious Arthur Allen Prize. The Macaulay Library thanks our foundation partners for their generous contributions to science and conservation. Your support is working!
