The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat provides financial aid to study areas in the United States that provide seasonal habitat for threatened or endangered native birds and have the potential to provide useful information for land-management decisions. For the purpose of this award, we consider as “threatened” all birds that are experiencing marked population declines, ranked as of “special concern,” or at other forms of conservation risk. Projects funded by this award must be conducted within the political boundaries of the United States (including American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands). The Award will be given annually by the Garden Club of America and administered by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Th
