Superb Owl Sunday! This Red Morph eastern was a collision victim, who will now live on as #taxidermy for an #museum This little body contains so much-the grief of life lost, the reflection of our impact, and the hope for this being's afterlife to inspire a better world for us and #birds.

I think #taxidermy is the ultimate expression of love. Especially for under appreciated
#birds like #starlings. Taxidermy classes are happening all through Valentines weekend in NYC-will I see you there? www.gothamtaxidermy.com/classes

I am so happy when teaching #taxidermy ! I’m in awe of my students, the animals, the craft. My classes have built community by sharing knowledge with joy and ease. It's not just about more taxidermists-it's about conservation and our role on this planet, and that's way bigger than any individual.

Red tailed hawks are very familiar across the US. Still, it’s heartbreaking that this #bird met its end much sooner than normal-rodenticide, collisions, and other perils we can change. I'm grateful to use #taxidermy to preserve her, and her story.

⭐️ this protected bird is for a museum with permits

Can you trust your eyes if your imagination is out of focus?

Sometimes #taxidermy mirrors reality, other times, it transcends it.

I made these replica flamingos for Ted Chin as a physical manifestation of his surreal art 💓🦩

What are you dreaming about as the year begins anew?
