Orthober to Prepare Bird for DCHM Diorama

Master taxidermist Mike Orthober will make his final appearance of the season at the Door County Historical Museum (DCHM) on Aug. 24, 10 am – 4 pm, when he will be mounting another bird for inclusion in the museum’s Seasons of Life diorama – which he designed and built – and answering questions about the art and craft of taxidermy. 

Orthober is a sharp-eyed student of natural history and is well known in the taxidermy field. He’s earned many national and international awards – including Best in World for warm-water fish and for a nongame bird – and he was recently inducted into the Taxidermy Hall of Fame.

The museum, at 4th and Michigan in Sturgeon Bay, is open daily, 10 am – 4 pm.
