What is migration?


This summer, before the fall banding started, we slaved away on a special migration window display for Sarah's office in Meadville. I personally think it's worth a drive down there to check it out, but for those of you who can't go jaunting off to Meadville, here are some pictures.

We cut out and painted 43 different migrating bird species, and then glued them onto a background. Anne, the creative genus behind the project, painted a map of the migration flyways, and we all helped stencil the information, which, while tedious, was still better than clearing invasive species. Although that's not saying much, as just about anything would be preferable to clearing honeysuckle in the hot, muggy, end of July. We all had a great time working on this display, and we hope you (and everyone else who sees it) enjoy it as much as we do!





Next time you're in Meadville, stop by and check it out! See if you can identify them all!

(Hint: the three standing in front are Lauren, Amy and Anne.)
