| Exhibit
Hall: Birds of the Americas
 The Regar-Werner
Ornithology Collection forms the nucleus of this exhibit. Many
of the birds are mounted in natural habitat groupings with
painted background dioramas. More than 400 species are
represented.
The collection
dates from 1860 to the early 1900s making it one of the oldest
diorama collections in the United States. Extinct and
endangered species, including a passenger pigeon and
ivory-billed woodpecker are a focal point of this exhibit.
