The exhibit, the others pieces in the museum and the museum itself are absolutely incredible. We are very happy that we went. Thank you Robert. (Note that the museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.)<br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Of course since we were up there we also did some birding.

They were not bothered by us so it was a great photo op.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/53518744092/in/dateposted/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/53518744092/in/dateposted/</a></div><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/53520063305/in/dateposted/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/53520063305/in/dateposted/</a></div><br></div><div dir="auto">The other experience was seeing seven very active Short-eared Owls around 1 p.m. on a sunny day at East 90.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/53515961411/in/dateposted/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/53515961411/in/dateposted/</a></div><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/53516394455/in/dateposted/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/53516394455/in/dateposted/</a></div><br></div><div dir="auto">Here are links to the eBird trip report</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><a href="https://ebird.org/tripreport/200819">https://ebird.org/tripreport/200819</a></div><br></div><div dir="auto">and the photo album for the trip.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/albums/72177720314639792/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/albums/72177720314639792/</a></div><br></div><div dir="auto">Hank & Karen Heiberg</div><div dir="auto">Issaquah, WA</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div>
