Bird Taxidermy Migrates to New Home
Our bird taxidermy specimens are on the move! We’ve moved and unpacked 442 birds; that’s a lot of feathers! Now, our most fragile specimens are stored in a stable environment.
This delightful cartoon and the accompanying ruminations on finding an arrowhead, appeared in an unknown, but probably Columbus, Ohio, newspaper sometime in the 1930s. It’s from a scrapbook of clippings collected by Robert Goslin. Goslin was a curator at the Ohio Historical Society who started out working as an archaeologist, but who went on to focus on Natural History.
I’ll be sharing other gems from Goslin’s scrapbook in the coming weeks.
