this bird related raffle!

Win a lifetime membership to NHSM (discounts on programs and more!) AND a collection of birds from past to present.

This month we are raffling a collection of bird-related objects (value approx. $850) that span millions of years including:

• A three-volume set of American Ornithology by Alexander Wilson. These 150-year-old books are in their original bindings with marbled end pages. There are 103 colored plates, representing a portion of the 268 species collected and painted by Wilson.
• Two historic pamphlets from the Natural History Society of Maryland: Birds of Baltimore and Vicinity from 1938 and Preliminary List of the Birds of Maryland and the District of Columbia by Irving Hampe and Haven Kolb from 1947.
• A 40-50-million-year-old fossil bird feather from the Eocene Green River Formation in Garfield County, Colorado. This primitive feather will enhance any fossil collection and will become a wonderful source of contemplation on the origin of birds, flight, and feathers.
• A beautiful photo printed on canvas titled Cormorants on the Susquehanna River taken by wildlife photographer, Frank Marsden.
