Our field trip began in the Egyptian rooms, where we spotted ducks, quail chicks, owls, falcons, vultures, ibis, and fish eagles. We then journeyed to the Etruscan rooms to spy some glorious eagles on a chariot through Rome, where we saw doves and peacocks. We then made our way to the arts of Africa, the Ancient Americas, and Oceania, and saw King vultures, sea eagles, condors, a Huia bird, and pelicans.
We then had a quick visit to Europe, where we saw some parrots and viewed beautiful merlins and peacocks at the Arab wing. We traveled to Japan to see incredible cranes woven into kimonos and herons painted on bowls, and found our way to the American wing to see delightful chickadees. It was a magnificent day to bird at The Met, and huge thanks to Linda LaBella for such a wonderful and informative tour.
