A Gallery of Bird Mounts

"From a very early age my fascination with birds has been a constant. Their fluidity of motion, graceful defiance of gravity, and myriad of colors and shapes captivate my attention as both an avid bird watcher and hunter.

Through taxidermy, it’s my personal desire to capture and preserve these qualities that make each species of bird unique. I hope that the people who view my work will develop a deeper appreciation for wildlife, birds in particular. Please enjoy a sampling of my work." ROBERT OLSON
