I left off yesterday with a diorama inside the bird gallery at the Museum of Nature. Here is another one, featuring sage grouse of the Canadian Prairies.
And here we have another, the gray crowned ruby finch.
Returning to the display cases, birds are generally organized in a given theme by each case.
Gotta make sure ai get to see some of this stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a collection, William!
ReplyDeleteThat is another impressive collection.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting display. Thank you for the pictures, William,
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the sage grouse. They are scarce and in the far southern part of the province.
ReplyDeleteGood to learn what birds look like. Today is the anniversary of Peterson's Field Guide to the Birds being published. I learned a lot from that book.
ReplyDeleteThey put so much work into those displays. Very nice photos
ReplyDeleteI meant to welcome you back, William!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful collection, very nice!
ReplyDeleteThe dioramas are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBirds are fascinating. A humming bird visited us this morning. Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the journey. We've missed you.
ReplyDeleteAll our feathered friends.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying our gold finches which are abundant this time of year.
I would just love this! If I ever get to Ottawa... good grief. Now you won't let us in (we won't let you in, either. I hate this.)
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteFantástico, gostei de ver.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

Ducks make some big changes so they are hard to identify in the fall.
ReplyDelete...the varieties of nature's gifts are endless.
ReplyDeleteWilliam - glad to see you are back! It hurts a little to see stuffed birds, but if they help for education, it's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteLooks an impressive collection.
