Acknowledgments
- Multi-modal Orientation Cues in Homing Pigeons

  

I am grateful to the generations of graduate students and undergraduates who did much of the work described in this paper. I give especial thanks to Irene Brown for her extraordinary help and to Tony Lednor for years of helpful discussions. This paper benefited greatly from the comments of two anonymous referees. Funding was provided by the National Science Foundation, The National Institutes of Health, The National Geographic Society, The Office of Naval Research and the Whitehall Foundation, Cornell University as well as many racing pigeon enthusiasts.
