Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship- So we start this morning in Canton, in Canton with a bird.
The Museum of American Bird Art, I never knew it existed, has an exhibition you're gonna talk to us about, appropriately called "What It's Like to Be a Bird".
- Joe, this is a place you want to be right now.
I think we're all realizing that we wanna get back to nature.
We want to get outside.
We're hearty New Englanders.
We can survive the cold, and we can get out there.
And that's exactly what I did recently with David Sibley.
Of course, you know he, you might know that he is the go-to guy for birds because of his many guides of birds in this country.
And so what he's done is, with the Museum of American Bird Art by Mass Audubon at their site in Canton, is they have an exhibition of his paintings that he made for his most recent book, "What It's Like to Be a Bird."
So typically, David Sibley, who, by the way, has been a birder since the age of five and has been sketching birds as the son of an ornithologist since the age of five.
- Wow.
- He typically renders as closely as possible what a bird is so that people can identify them, but he gave himself more free reign with this book because in "What It's Like to Be a Bird," we find them in their different scenarios, environments, how they live, personalities, facts.
Spoiler alert, the road runner will not actually outrun the coyote My dog, she told me about it, can't outrun.
So this is, as I say, the original work that you'll be able to see at the Museum of American Bird Art, which, by the way, is the only one of its kind in the country.
