Russell B. Aitken Sea Bird Aviary, Bronx Zoo (No. 4)
In the late nineteenth century William Temple Hornaday, then director of the New York Zoological Park (now the Bronx Zoo), carried out a direct-mail survey of wildlife conditions through the United States, and publicized the decline of birds and mammals in the organization's annual reports. In 1897 Hornaday also hired field researcher Andrew J. Stone to survey the condition of wildlife in the territory of Alaska. On the basis of these studies, Hornaday led the campaign for new laws to protect the wildlife there and the United States as a whole. In 1901, a small herd of American Bison were gathered in a 20-acre meadow just off what is now the Pelham Parkway roadway. Starting in 1905, Hornaday led a national campaign to reintroduce the almost extinct bison to government sponsored refuges. Hornaday, Theodore Roosevelt and others formed the American Bison Society in 1905. The Bronx Zoo sent 15 bison to Wichita Reserve in 1907 and additional bison in later years. The saving of this uniquely American symbol is one of the great success stories in the history of wildlife conservation. Hornaday campaigned for wildlife protection throughout his thirty years as director of the Bronx Zoo. Beginning in 1906, Hornaday featured Ota Benga, a member of the Mbuti from the Congo, in a zoo exhibit. In July 2020, the Wildlife Conservation Society apologized.
William Beebe, the first curator of birds at the Bronx Zoo, began a program of field research soon after the Bronx Zoo opened. His research on wild pheasants took him to Asia from 1908 to 1911 and resulted in a series of books on pheasants. Beebe's field work also resulted in the creation of the Society’s Department of Tropical Research, which Beebe directed from 1922 until his retirement in 1948. Beebe’s research in an undersea vessel called the bathysphere took him half a mile under the ocean floor off Bermuda in 1934 to record for the first time human observations of the bottom of the deep sea. The bathysphere is currently displayed at the New York Aquarium.
The war years marked the arrival of Henry Fairfield Osborn, Jr as NYZS president and Laurance Rockefeller as executive committee chairman. A best selling writer on conservation and son of WCS founder Henry Fairfield Osborn, Osborn soon embraced changes that signaled new thinking in the organization. Guests were allowed to bring their own cameras into the Bronx Zoo, while animals were grouped by continents and ecosystems rather than genetic orders and families, beginning with the African Plains exhibit in 1941.
After World War II, under the leadership of Osborn, the organization extended its programs in field biology and conservation. In 1946 WCS helped found the Jackson Hole Wildlife Park, which became part of Grand Teton National Park in 1962. In the late 1950s WCS began a series of wildlife surveys and projects in Kenya, Tanganyika (now Tanzania), Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Burma, and the Malay peninsula. In 1959 it sponsored George Schaller’s seminal study of mountain gorillas in Congo. Since that expedition, Schaller has gone on to become the world's preeminent field biologist, studying wildlife throughout Africa, Asia and South America. Conservation activities continued to expand under the leadership of William G. Conway, who became director of the Bronx Zoo in 1962 and President of WCS in 1992. Active as a field biologist in Patagonia, Conway promoted a new vision of zoos as conservation organizations, which cooperated in breeding endangered species. He also designed new types of zoo exhibits aimed at teaching visitors about habitats that support wildlife, and encouraged the expansion of WCS's field programs.
During the 1960s and 1970s, the WCS took a leadership role in pioneering zoological exhibitions by seeking to recreate natural environments for the animals on display. Under the leadership of WCS director William G. Conway, the Bronx Zoo opened its World of Darkness for nocturnal species in 1969 and its World of Birds for avian displays in 1974. Eventually New York City turned to WCS to renew and manage three city-run facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. The redesigned Central Park Zoo opened in 1988, followed by the Queens Zoo in 1992 and the Prospect Park Zoo in 1993. From 1994 through 1996 Archie Carr III of WCS helped establish the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize, a reserve for endangered jaguar.
Today WCS is at work on some 500 projects in more than 60 nations around the world that are intended to help protect both wildlife and the wild places in which they live. The organization endeavors to protect 25 percent of the world's biodiversity—from the gorillas of Africa and the tigers of Asia to macaws in South America and the sharks, whales and turtles traveling through the planet's seas. In recent years WCS has actively worked in conflict areas like Afghanistan, South Sudan and Myanmar, where agreements on wildlife resource have contributed to peace and stability. More than 4 million people visit WCS's wildlife parks in New York City each year.

Stax-era recordings "I'll Take You There" and "Respect Yourself" and her moving "Down in Mississippi" bring down any house; she's an artist you've got to see and if her rousing concert at Christ Church Episcopal in 2013 was any indication, she's still got it in spades.

THURSDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK: Time for early adjustments
Buy Now
The early part of a football season is always a time to get the kinks out.
This makes it especially sweet for those teams who post wins despite not putting together a complete game.
Such was the case in Week Zero, as both Bamberg-Ehrhardt and Orangeburg-Wilkinson had to rely on strong defensive efforts to pull out hard-fought wins.
B-E and Woodland played a rare scoreless four quarters of football before the Red Raiders pulled out a 7-0 overtime win.
The Bruins needed two days to defeat Edisto 26-0 after power outages pushed the contest to completion on Saturday morning.
Other teams fared even better in victory.
Team of the week
Branchville
The Yellow Jackets opened the season with their largest margin of victory in school history in the 62-22 rout of Charleston Math and Science. The 62 points were three shy of the school record for points in a game set on Sept. 21, 2012, in a 65-26 win over Lincoln.
TMQ top player
Bill Metts (Orangeburg Prep)
The Indians had an earlier start than most teams in Week Zero at the lightless Hilton Head facility. Metts was more than ready with 188 rushing yards and four touchdowns in the 46-7 victory.
Week Zero gridiron giants
• Schaffie Rodgers (Branchville) — 90 rushing yards, 2 TDs
• Zach Wiles (Branchville) — 8-11 passing, 96 yards, 2 TDs; 78 rushing yards, 3 TDs
• Lance Brownlee (Dorchester Academy) — 73 rushing yards, 11-20 passing, 97 yards, 2 TDs
• Trace Furtick (Orangeburg Prep) — 5-10 passing, 128 yards, TD
• Wesley Wells and John Henry Reynolds (both of Orangeburg Prep) – 10 tackles each
• Jerrald Manigault (Bamberg-Ehrhardt) – game-winning interception in the end zone in OT, 7 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 3 pass breakups
By the numbers
Andrew Jackson Academy opens the season Friday against Jefferson Davis Academy with the Palmetto State’s longest winning streak at 26 games. Conversely, North opens the season with the state’s longest losing streak at 25 .. .B-E head coach Kevin Crosby is four wins shy of 100 for his career. He has seven 10-win seasons .. .Denmark-Olar has dropped its last six season-openers … Woodland dropped to 0-4 all-time against Bamberg-Ehrhardt.
B-E ranked
The Red Raiders were the lone T&D Region team ranked in the South Carolina Prep Football Media poll released on Tuesday. In fact, it is a trifecta of Region 5-2A teams ranked 2-4, respectively in Class 2A, in Batesburg-Leesville, Barnwell and B-E. Hunter-Kinard-Tyler and Blackville-Hilda received votes in Class A in the preseason poll, while Bethune-Bowman received votes in Class A this week.
Berry and McMurray
Longtime Blackville-Hilda head football coach David Berry and Bennie McMurray, a South Carolina State alumnus who led Lewisville to three state titles in football and five in baseball, will be inducted into the S.C. Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in December.
The second-winningest high school football coach in The T&D Region behind retired Dorchester Academy coach Stanley Gruber, Berry has won 257 career games and led the Hawks to 24 straight winning seasons.
Quotable
“It’s going to be a long season; don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of them fighting and staying in there and getting the win. We just can’t play like this. I told them we probably had more turnovers tonight than we had in the last two years here.” — Bamberg-Ehrhardt head coach Kevin Crosby following the 7-0 overtime win over Woodland in Week Zero.
Won and moved on
The last two T&D Region football coaches to win state titles have moved on the following seasons. In 2015, in his only season as head coach, Bill Spiers led Calhoun Academy to a state championship. The next fall he was on the sidelines as an assistant coach for the Clemson Tigers, who won the national title. After leading Andrew Jackson Academy to back-to-back state titles in 2015 and 2016, Allen Sitterle (with four titles at Daniel High School in the 1990s) has now retired from coaching for a second time, with plans to watch Friday night football from the stands for a change.
