The POP! pelican and 16 birds migrated to the museum on Jan. 12 - a freezing cold Friday, with temperatures in the teens. Which brave birds? They were: Northern Flicker, Forster's Tern, Red-tailed Hawk, Black-capped Chickadee, Great Horned Owl, Spotted Towhee, Tree Swallow, Western Tanager, Eared Grebe, Canada Goose, California Quail, American Wigeon, American Avocet, Steller's Jay, American Kestrel, and Western Meadowlark.

An American Avocet races over the main hall in the Klamath County Museum, amid a swirl of other birds created by KUHS art students. Avocets can be seen in good numbers at the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge where they begin arriving in March and breed locally throughout the summer.

The Northern Flicker is a flashy flyer in our backyards, often seen fleeing on orange wings below. This attractive bird created by KUHS art students is a colorful resident of the Klamath Basin.

A photo exhibit showing the KUHS art students' progressive crafting of the multi-bird "Bird Swirl" sculpture throughout 2006 can be seen this spring at the Klamath County Museum. This project was sponsored by the Klamath Basin Ecosystem Restoration Office, through an Outreach and Education grant focusing on migratory birds in the Klamath Basin. To view the new "Bird Swirl" sculpture and accompanying photo display, visit the Klamath County Museum located at 1451 Main St., open Wed.-Sat., 9-5 and Sun. 1-5.

The "Glassic Elegance - Jewel of the Sky" POP! pelican - created by Loretta Martinez - attracted onlookers from the Sagebrush Rendezvous to walk next door to the Running Y Lodge to see the detail of fish in the beak of this stunning pelican adorned in stained glass.
