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.
As someone who identifies animal bones from all sorts of sources, ranging from forensic contexts to archaeological sites, I’ve seen a lot of unusual cases – but none like this one! Bones usually come from the ground, either on the surface or buried (naturally or intentionally), but this one came from above! It literally fell from the sky!
