http://www.suttoncenter.org/george.html: "George Miksch Sutton: Namesake
of Sutton Avian Research Center-The Center was named after George Miksch
Sutton (1898-1982), who until his death served as Professor Emeritus at
the University of Oklahoma and as an example to all aspiring field
ornithologists. Who's Who gives a thorough account of this "most
prominent ornithologist of his time." A recently-published bibliography
of his works lists 13 books, 18 monographs and museum publications, 201
journal articles, 12 book reviews, four obituaries, 18 popular articles
and eight essays. He also illustrated at least another 18 books. As
"Doc" was so intensely interested in hands-on studies of birds in the
field, we felt it most fitting to commemorate this dedicated individual
by naming the research center after him."
