Harvard MCZ (museum of comparative zoology) is AMAZING! I can't be happier to have my office just in the museum! It is a treasure cave and a heaven for a bird lover!!
Just the other day we had a public touring event, we pulled out some amazing bird specimens, include this amazing baby! - paradise tanager! regardless almost one hundred years old soul of this cutie, the plumages are shinny just like a jewel! See how my hand was shacking when holding this pretty! How amazing! I am living in a dream to be with those amazing specimen! : ) If you are living in the NE Boston area, you got to visit this place! more to come...

Ok Mark, I am really jealous! What an awesome experience!
Thanks nell...
I will try to take as many photos as possible in the near future! The high light would be two golden pheasants gift from George Washington!! can you believe that! and some expedition collections from Clark and Lewis!! When I heard that, my heart almost forgot to beat! Unbelievable place! @@
It's unbelievable how well preserved they are! I'd love to see more when you are there next.
It is truly amazing! Nell.
I am reading another book about the Wilkes expedition and discovered the Antarctic in 1839. Sure enough, we have some specimens here form that expedition!! It is amazing!!
Let me know if you got a chance to visit MCZ!
Mark,
Hopefully I will visit pretty soon and I'd love to check out the museum!
Hey Vlad,
