The Long Dunes provide the best bird watching on the island, which abound with lapwings, oystercatchers and black-tailed godwits. Using more than three dozen items from Hood's collection and those of others, the show offers a variety of styles: delicate depictions of lapwings and plovers from an ornithological guide to Indian birds, abstract bronzes, a line drawing of a prairie falcon, oil paintings, a Javanese crocodile-fish mask and stuffed botanical specimens. |
