Thanks to Bill Hecht, I have placed his scan of said article here: http://www.northeastbirding.com/FuertesSanctuary.jpg
After reading this article, it would appear that the "Swan Pen" is actually the Fuertes Memorial Bird Sanctuary, (a.k.a. "Fuertes Sanctuary"?), following the untimely death of Fuertes. The top listed name on the planning committee was none other than Arthur A. Allen (founder of the Lab of Ornithology and close friend of Fuertes's). This may suggest that the original "Fuertes Sanctuary" was indeed originally located at the "Swan Pen" area at Stewart Park...but, what about Renwick Sanctuary? What is the label on the cement archway at the old SE entrance to Renwick? I'm wondering when that was created and, if labeled Fuertes Sanctuary, why so? What happened to the Fuertes Memorial Bird Sanctuary and the "seasonal museum" in the "old Cascadilla boat house" as described in the article? Did that ever come to fruition? What about the "stone masonry piers (sic) with Fuertes Memorial bronze tablets on East" that were to be positioned immediately SE of the "Swan Pen" at Stewart Park (are they still there?)?
