Water Birds of the Frescos
Thanks go to Louise Balma for her research into and selection of the birds used in the fresco. The birds represent those species found from the Arctic Circle to the Gulf of Mexico. Each relies on the Mississippi River for sustenance either year-round or as part of their migration.
