The Department of Ornithology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History encompasses approximately 35,000 research specimens and more than a century of ornithological exploration around the world. The department was established in 2006 through a generous bequest from William A. and Nancy R. Klamm, whose donation created an endowed chair for the curator and department head.
