Hi, birder friends-- During a visit to the Longmont Museum this week, Sandra Laursen and I were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the prints and the lighting and labeling presentation. But one thing puzzled us: the labels of the prints often referenced a specific page in an unspecified "Audubon field guide" (no year indicated; a historical/JJ Audubon production? A subsequent guide organized by someone else?) We asked the museum staff but they did not know what exactly this meant.
Sandra has done some Net research, and the more she looks the more it appears that the reference MAY have been an effort on the part of the exhibit curators to help out modern birders with more modern bird names. But this is our speculation. If anyone knows or finds out anything different, would you let us know? Thanks!
