Erickson said Wednesday evening. ?It?s so thrilling to be part of such a cosmically important institution. It?s always been my personal Mecca since I stated birding in 1975. Never in a million years did it occur to me that I could get a job there.? The laboratory is highly regarded among birders. It maintains the world?s largest collection of wildlife sounds, Erickson said, and is a leader in citizen-participation research projects. Erickson will write for the laboratory?s Web site, www.birds.cornell.edu , and for the institution?s ?BirdScope? newsletter to supporters. In addition to continuing her radio program, Erickson will continue to write her birding blog, which appears on her Web site, www.lauraerickson..com . The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology is part of Cornell University. Erickson and her husband, Russell Erickson, will maintain their residence in Duluth, and Laura Erickson will commute on a weekly basis to Ithaca for her new job. She is the author three books: ?For the Birds, An Uncommon Guide;? ?Sharing the Wonder of Birds with Kids? and ?101 Ways to Help Birds.?
