Birdsacre hosts rotating exhibits focusing on the wonder of birds and challenges they face that we all can help to lessen. Presented first in the Nature Discovery Center, the exhibits are offered through the generous support of Downeast Audubon. At the close of the season, the presentations are moved online. Be sure to visit Birdsacre to view the exhibits in their larger format.
Selected exhibit images are available for loan to local classrooms and presentations can be arranged at Birdsacre or your site upon request.

Feather Thieves
In the late 1800’s, birds and feathers became all the rage from fashion to home décor to flyfishing. The devastation to bird populations was astounding. In the late 1800’s public outcry raised awareness, ultimately resulting in the federal Migratory Bird Act of 1918. Today, the protections offered by this Act, and other local and global conservation efforts, are as important as ever in the protection of birds and the environment we share.
