All,

You can see more of Part 1 of my interview with Nat Rice, collection
manager at the Academy in Philadelphia here:
http://blogs.crikey.com.au/northern/2013/04/18/nate-rice-on-musk-ducks-and-going-batshit-crazy-for-birds/

Here is a teaser: “Some of the most famous ornithologists in the world have
been associated with us – John Audubon, Alexander Wilson, Rudolph Meyer De
Schauensee, James Bond, Leo Joseph, Frank Gill – all of those folks have
worked here and contributed to the collection and to the growth of the
collection.” The Academy dates back to 1812 and has been on this site since
1876.
