Feathers

Like other animals, birds can shift colours seasonally. A display case here shows examples.


Thematically speaking the display moves on to similar colours in different sized birds.


There's something unusual to be found here, a partial albino. Lifting the lid gives the name of the species.


And here it is.

    I’ve looked among my photos for Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers. It is great to see them as displayed in this post. Thank you.

    The change in the Goldfinches is the most amazing to me. Good post, William.

    I love that they have the interactive parts, too. They really explain it all so well. There are some birds that are so hard to identify from the bird book -- especially when you don't know where to start. Seeing them like this makes it easy. (This would be Lizzie's favorite exhibit!)
