Chapman Memorial Hall of North American Birds offers a tour of our continent and its diversity of bird life: a peregrine falcon is shown nesting on a rocky ledge of the New Jersey Pali- sades, just across the Hudson River from New York City; Brandt's cormorant is shown in its home near Monterey, Cali- fornia, on the other side of the continent. An Arizona desert group includes such birds as the cactus wren, the roadrunner, the curve-billed thrasher, and Gambel's quail. There is also a night scene along the Potomac, where a great horned owl is shown returning to its mate with a muskrat in its claws. Wood warblers throng a dogwood branch, and a colony of anhingas, or snakebirds, nest in the Florida Everglades. A visitor to the Hall of North American Birds will notice that several plaques are written in the past tense: the New Jersey marshes were visited by vast numbers of migrating swallows, bobolinks, and other birds, but pollution and construction have driven most of them away. Several of the birds shown in these exhibits are extinct. The Carolina para- keet, only member of its family to nest in the United States, became extinct around 1900 and the Labrador duck dis- appeared around 1871. Only 50 skins of PEREGRINE FALCONS.
