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.

Since we haven’t featured a “Freak of the Week” for a while, you now get two for the price of one! Name these two specimens from the Natural History collections, then name what they have in common. What is their “connection”!?
Answer:
They are the Eastern Massasauga (also known as the Swamp Rattler) and the Sandhill Crane! These are indeed dwellers of Ohio wetlands, but the other thing they have in common is that they are both listed in Ohio as Endangered Species.
