Incidental Bird Fact:
The United States is home to about 1100 different bird species. Several common birds, such as the house sparrow, rock pigeon and European starling are introduced species. That is, they are not indigenous but were introduced by humans.

- All art work is handmade by Robert Wiener in the DC Art Glass Studio. Kilnforming is a method of shaping glass in a kiln using heat and gravity. Techniques used by the artist include fusing, slumping, casting, printmaking and coldworking. It is common of kilnformed glass to have slight color shifts and small "champagne" bubbles.
