Their deaths are not related to the art of taxidermy. These are invasive species (not native to North America) and were taken as part of pest control. They eat crops and destroy the nests of native birds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an intensive workshop, so be prepared to \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ework and focus\u003c\/span\u003e each day.

Those persons who fly in, do not plan to fly out quickly after class as it can go over the second day. A 'red-eye' is best if you must leave on Sunday.
