ðĨš I love #woodcock but they can be very frustrating. Even when you bring in multiple birds it's not a guarantee you'll get a mount back. So, did I save this one? @nnbirdtaxidermy #nnbirdtaxidermy
Updates! I'm working on birds that came in Oct. 2022. I'll call ya when yours is ready. @nnbirdtaxidermy #nnbirdtaxidermy
1. Please stop trespassing on our property. I do contact law enforcement.
2. Things to look for on a bird you'd like to have taxidermied. Damage dictates pose!

Bohemian waxwings, like nearly every species of bird, are protected (search for the Migratory Bird Treaty Act list). Fortunately, this window casualty should have a second life in education. Checkout those wings!
What is that?! My best guess is this bird was previously injured and the body walled off the infection. There appeared to be feathers in the dark yellow squishy (yet firm) stuff. Any other guesses? Photos in comments.
Nice mallard with some action

One of our dogs had a seizure early this morning. This is video near the end of it. He scared both of us but minutes later he was fine. He went to the vet and will be observed unless they increase in frequency, duration, or intensity. No meds at this time. So aside from the chaos of the holidays I'll be focusing on this guy a bit more than usual. On the bright side, there will be a bunch of birds ready in early January despite not getting quite through the ones that came in December 2021. ð Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for reading and your patience.

This is what happens when I sit in the deer blind too long. I sing in the car. ðŽ @nnbirdtaxidermy #nnbirdtaxidermy
Duck spots are full! I still have a few upland spots available by appointment only. Thank you!
11/1/23 LIMITED number of spots for WATERFOWL. I'll post when these fill but if more open up, I'll post again. Thank you.
Wood ducks for days! @nnbirdtaxidermy #nnbirdtaxidermy
Let's talk about pin feathers! Show your friends. @nnbirdtaxidermy #nnbirdtaxidermy
A video outlining choosing a good specimen and how to prepare it for a taxidermist. @nnbirdtaxidermy #nnbirdtaxidermy
I can't fool you guys. This is the grouse from yesterday and YES I saved it.
I spotted this male woodcock dancing next to the side of the road about a mile from the shop. @nnbirdtaxidermy
Intense storm last night! Check out the hail and flooding. Driveway will need repaired but the building seems fine and your birds are all safe!
Rags to riches! I can't save them all but giving me artistic freedom increases the chances. @nnbirdtaxidermy #nnbirdtaxidermy
