ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ

Conceived by artist Todd McGrain The Lost Bird Project is part natural history, part artist's diary, documenting the extraordinary effort to place a series of public memorials to birds driven to extinction in modern times. The project is a chronicle of humankind's impact on our changing world and a moving record of dwindling biodiversity. The ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ University Art Museum will place these monumental bronze memorials to five “lost birds” (Carolina Parakeet, Great Auk, Labrador Duck, Passenger Pigeon, and Heath Hen), on the lawn in front of the DiMenna-Nyselius library.
