Do you have any favourite bird fossils?

I actively study fossil birds so that's actually really hard for me to pick just one :') like... all of them

this one of Nahmavis from Green River has always been one of my favorites though

A Trip to the Field Museum

Some past photos from my previous trip to the Field Museum last year during a free day. The museum has an amazing collection of specimens and fun temporary exhibits. The one they were hosting when we visited was the Blood Suckers exhibit.

The museum offers free admission days serval times a month for residents or students in Illinois.

Changing Face of Science exhibition highlights ‘Punk Rock Paleontologist,’ Field Museum Dino Curator Jingmai O’Connor, PhD

Changing Face of Science is a series that highlights women and/or scientists of color who are breaking barriers in their field to challenge the typical idea of who can be a scientist. The show shares O’Connor’s path to science while highlighting her passions outside of paleontology, including music and sustainability. It features pieces from O’Connor’s personal collections, including her childhood sketchbook and replica antiques purchased in Chinese markets. It also features fossils related to her research, like a cast of prehistoric bird Qiliania graffini signed by Greg Graffin, evolutionary biologist and lead singer in Bad Religion, for whom O’Connor named the species.

I have always hated having to come up with an "artist's statement" to accompany my paintings.

"This is called 'Foxlight'. It's, uh, taxidermied foxes at the Field Museum of Natural History. There's skeletons too. Oh, and it's egg tempera."

If I wanted to write philosophy I'd have become a philosopher.

Description later, but greetings from the Wharenui at the Field Museum. Hello from a little slice of Aotearoa! (Yes I took my shoes off!)

[ID: The inside of a Maori meeting house; the walls are slatted with delicately carved panels interspersed with woven zigzag patterns, and the angled roof has more carved slats with a long single beam at the top. Two supports, with figures carved into their bases, hold up the beam; there are heavy-looking tables and benches inside, and a carpeted floor. It is lit with electric pendulum lights.]

Field Museum Cougar

Tucked neatly in the corner by the entrance to North American Mammals is an unusual mount. Unlike all the "living" mounts around it, this display has a cougar mounted in a dead-hanging position. There's a very interesting reason for this, right by this mount is a display of a family of mule deer.

There's been a debate in the hunting and conservation communities about whether or not cougars are drastically hurting the mule deer population. Predators in general are a good thing for the prey population, by keeping the populations in control and hunting the old/sick. But there's been concerns with a rise of cougars going after fawns and younger deer.

In 2023 due to pressure from outside groups Wyoming Game and Fish Commission opened a proposal to open up its cougar hunting seasons out of the triennial cycle and increase the cat quota by 50%. However, Wyoming biologists argue that multiple species are hunting the deer and that targeting the cougars would only hurt their population and not help the deer.
