Taxidermy Bird Specimens

July 12th, 2017.
@SusScrofa It's a very small place and here's the entire review from my Snowleopard's 2017 Road Trip thread:

I headed along the coastline to Huntingdon Beach, still in the Los Angeles greater metropolitan area. This very small building has a Brown Pelican taxidermy specimen at the door that is a little unnerving to see as one enters, but after that it appears as if someone robbed the joint in the middle of the night. There are boxes and cartons haphazardly piled up in corners, placards detailing the surrounding wetlands (which is a protected ecological reserve), and about a dozen exhibits that have species such as Two-Striped Garter Snake, Southern Alligator Lizard, San Diego Gopher Snake, Coastal Rosy Boa, California King Snake, Corn Snake, Lined Shore Crab, California Spiny Lobster, Swell Shark and a variety of other fish and anemones in touch tanks. There is also a long list of taxidermy specimens and most of them are coastal seabirds and birds of prey but the whole place is messy and totally uninviting.
