The Least Water-hen is on display in our Audubon case this month! Each December, we try to feature a “Twelve Days of Christmas” bird. Though Audubon didn’t depict French hens, or any traditional hens, the water-hen comes close. Stop by the reading room from December 9 through January 13 to see them on display, and read more in our blog.
Check out our previous December displays here: four colly (calling) birds, turtledoves, and a partridge!
