Prediction: the global warming thread will finally be knocked from its artificially-inflated perch of longest running thread when this one runs its course.
The bird diversity represented in 700+ mounts, not just representative species, but hybrids and various and assorted mutations is in and of itself and incredible achievement, but the full collection consisting of photographs, calls, shotgun shells, pins, clothes, decoys (including a pair of extremely rare, incredibly valuable, Double R Decoy cork mallards

), magazines, bands, collars, boats, signs, paddles, prints, the habitat elements such as seashells and glass bouys, even the wood used for many of the frames - not to mention the people, the times and the stories that it all represents - puts everything in its fullest, and finest context. I've been in there maybe a hundred times over the past decade and notice something new everytime single time. If you've ever walked through the Smithsonian Science Museum and tried to see everything, you know exactly what I mean.
