Biography
Robert Porter Allen (24 April 1905 in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania) is an American ornithologist and environmentalist. He achieved worldwide attention for his rescue operations of the whooping crane (Grus Americana) in the 1940s and 1950s. Allen helped save the Roseate Spoonbill from extinction. He set up a tent on Bottle Key in the Florida Bay in 1938 so that he could observe the nesting Spoonbills up close. He was the first ecologist to do this work with Roseate Spoonbills.
