The book by Mann is now on my to read list, and I loved that it inspired you to research the fascination we have with taxidermy. It is pretty awesome that you found a stuffed bear with a bowl... in a foyer! <br />~LoriRebecca and Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738237580274346499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-75732599508042090162012-10-18T09:00:10.588-07:002012-10-18T09:00:10.588-07:00The woman in the picture of the National Bird Coll...The woman in the picture of the National Bird Collection at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Instution, is Roxie Laybourne. She was gone before I started working there, as a librarian in the Paleobiology Department, and I always wished I could have known her. She pioneered the study of airplanes and bird strikes, was one of the greatest feather identification experts to ever live, lived alone on a big farm in Virginia and rode a motorcycle to work for most of her life. From what I know of her, you and your readers would have loved her. That collection is one of my favorites in the museum, though I must admit to being partial to the big woolly mammoth skull that stares at me from across the library all day...

My great-great grandfather was the only taxidermist in Baltimore in the early 1900's (according to an article we have), so I find that field interesting. He owned a pet store selling mostly birds and fish. He was a hunter as well. My own son used to be a bug/moth/butterfly collector and we have 2 boards in his room with bugs/moths/butterflies displayed and labeled. Kind of gross and kind of cool. <br /><br />I read you article in Martha just now.

Incredible. Can't decide whether I love the birds more, or the old bird standing among them. Delightful. I simply can't stop collecting, or amassing, or accumulating. Having a good auction house nearby in the country that has wonderful sales of all sorts of stuff doesn't help, either! I suppose I'll find myself the subject of a hoarder's reality episode. Well, of very pretty things, that is... Looking forward to reading your piece in MSL!
