These Things Happen


Stuff happens sometimes at a museum. Stuff like being infiltrated by birds crashing through windows.  This morning at the Steam Museum, we made the unfortunate discovery that some kind of bird of prey – a hawk or falcon – had crashed through a window pane in the Pumphouse. The bird unfortunately did not survive, however, staff were very quick to address the problem and new glass has already been ordered.



But that’s not the weirdest part. In the morning, it was the hawk. In the afternoon just before closing, it was a blackbird. That’s right – we had not one, but TWO bird-related issues this day. As we closed up the Woodshed for the evening, I found that a blackbird had somehow flew inside the building.

Could this beautiful weather be making our birds act a little crazy?
