The Macaulay Library: Arctic to Hawaii

A stunning collection of wildlife footage that’s much more than birds — it’s behavior. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology collects exciting animal behavior video from around the world in high definition. Recent expeditions expanded our holdings from the Arctic, Hawaii and the Gulf of Mexico. Bird courtship, acoustic displays among fish, singing humpback whales, polar bears crashing through seal dens, and the elusive narwal — see them all as if you were there and hear them in high-quality digital stereo.

We also have the world’s largest collection of animal sounds to provide accurate soundtracks. All of our media is available for conservation, education, research and commercial products. Our expert staff know what they are looking at and are ready to help you find what you need quickly.
