Bird Nests

To celebrate spring, the Windham Public Library has a beautiful collection of bird nests on display from Stephen Signor, of Windham, through June 29th. There are 9 bird nests indigenous to the Northeast, specifically of Maine, on display in the case.

Signor has always been interested in birds, but his particular interest in bird nests developed while researching their habitats over the past three years. He finds the construction method and the amount of time put into the nests very interesting, as well as the number of variations and color of eggs for each bird type.

The nests on display have mock eggs, along with identification tags and a quiz that the public can take to test their knowledge of identifying the nests. Stop by the library for a look at this wonderful collection. The Windham Public Library is located at 217 Windham Center Road. Call the library for more information about the display, for library hours, or for directions (892-1908).
