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.
Some exciting archaeology is happening right now in Lake Erie. The Peachman Lake Erie Shipwreck Research Center is working with grad students from Texas A&M documenting the sidewheel steamboat General Anthony Wayne. This week the Toledo Blade did a great in depth report of the investigation which you can see at http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080629/NEWS08/806290348. Make sure to click on the “Multimedia” button to see more project pictures and hear the archaeologists talk about the vessel and what all is involved in the survey. Enjoy!
