The Lost Bird Project

¼â½ÐÊÓƵ University Campus

October 2020 – June 2021

Conceived by artist Todd McGrain The Lost Bird Project is part natural history, part artist's diary, documenting the extraordinary effort to place a series of public memorials to birds driven to extinction in modern times. The project is a chronicle of humankind's impact on our changing world and a moving record of dwindling biodiversity. The ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ University Art Museum will place these monumental bronze memorials to five “lost birds” (Carolina Parakeet, Great Auk, Labrador Duck, Passenger Pigeon, and Heath Hen), on the lawn in front of the DiMenna-Nyselius library.
