Hogback Mountain, Marlboro, VT
Most of the collection at this great little museum consists of taxidermied birds collected in the 1920s and 1930s. While our collecting ethic has changed, it was a treat to see so many of the birds close up, and there are several unreleasable owls and hawks that the museum staff cares for. It's definitely worth a stop if you're passing through.
This diorama depicts an unfortunate situation for the frog, as a Green Heron is about to feast upon him.
And some examples of the birds, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak and European Starling:
