The Podell Boardwalk is named for Albert Podell. I know nothing specific about his association with the Lab, but it seems likely that he is the same guy featured in this article.

Evidently he is not only a Lab supporter and a defiantly principled chooser of lifestyle and bed linens -- he is also a generous supporter of other charitable causes, a patron of the arts, a world traveler, filmmaker, and author. I gotta give the guy credit - and not just because his namesake boardwalk is such a good place to find birds. Alas, I didn't check there this morning, but I did find a few migrants elsewhere in Sapsucker Woods - a female CANADA WARBLER by the Charley Harper memorial bench, a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH at the pond edge here, and a BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER in the woods close to the Fuller Wetlands.

Many of you post of sightings at the Podell Boardwalk here at the Lab. An elderly visitor of the same last name is keen to know for whom is it named? I have combed our website and the internet for the information and not finding anything, and I thought perhaps some of you have been part of the Lab or birding here since before said Boardwalk was created may know.
