The Field Museum in Chicago

I recently got a wild hair to travel.  To travel in an Eco-friendly way I took a train from East Texas to Chicago!  20 hours on a train SUCKS, but when I finally arrived I visited the Field Museum and I was blown away!

I created this mini-collection http://restoringearth.fieldmuseum.org/interactive.php?hash=YTeQpQKODZ from the Restoring Earth Exhibit.  I was able to see all types of species from the jungle, ways things were collected, and great conservation stories.  Please check out MY mini collection that I made in an interactive exhibit from within the museum.

The college I attended in Abilene (Hardin Simmons University) has a stuffed bird exhibit that was donated by a benefactor and I walked by it everyday for 4 years while I received my Biology degree.  When I visited the Field Museum, they had many of the same birds on display (plus many more) and they had them featured in their habitats in a few scenes, which was pretty cool!

Check out the video I made with my cell phone and please visit the Field Museum if you get the chance, there is LOTS more to see than what few clips I have posted here for you.
