December 2, 2011 – February 18, 2012
Opening reception December 4, 2:00 – 4:00 pm.
This exhibition takes a look at the Schuylkill Center’s permanent bird collection. These taxidermy specimens, donated by volunteers and members across the years, allow us to admire up close the detailed beauty of our region’s birds.
Photographer Lisa Haun has spent over a year working with birds from our collection, creating portraits that defy their subject – they look alive and teeming with personality. Her subjects include the Screech Owl, Yellow Warbler, King Fisher, Blue Jay, Pileated Woodpecker, Cardinal and Red Tailed Hawk. Interactive displays by Jennie Thwing and Lorenzo Buffa display the calls and other sounds of various birds in the exhibit. Selections from the taxidermy collection will also be exhibited.
