| Summary: |
Bird exhibition based on MAC Collection of ornithological specimens, grouped by Prairie, Water, and Woodland species. Whether nesting or traveling through our wetlands, prairies, and open woods, Inland Northwest birds have stories to tell. Gathered by hunters and bird club members, and carefully mounted and preserved, dozens of bird specimens will emerge from museum storage for an exhibit that connects early explorers’ descriptions, Native American stories, and ornithologists’ methods of identifying birds and their songs.
