"Brooks McCormick, chief executive officer of the International Harvester Co. and a longtime Crane Foundation supporter, willed his entire collection of ornithology, or the study of birds, to the nonprofit when he died last year."
"On Oct. 5, Sotheby's in New York City will auction off the collection, whose estimated value is between $1.5 million and $2 million, with all proceeds going to ICF."
