George Miksch Sutton (May 16,
1898, Bethany, Nebraska –
December 7, 1982) was an American ornithologist and bird artist. He published
numerous technical papers in ornithology as well as more popular works illustrated
with his own art. His early artistic work was inspired and tutored by Louis Agassiz Fuertes. In 1931, he was the first ornithologist

its nest and eggs described. He did extensive field work in the Arctic
(including Iceland), Oklahoma, Labrador, and Mexico. He received his
doctorate from Cornell University and
held academic posts at the University of Michigan and
the University of Oklahoma,

him.
