Walk into the visitor center at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and you’ll be greeted by a massive mural called the Wall of Birds. About the size of a tennis court, the mural shows a map of the world covered in 270 life-sized portraits of birds and their relatives — ranging in size from the 30-foot-long, feathered dinosaur Yutyrranus hauli to the tiny Marvelous Spatuletail hummingbird. Artist and scientific illustrator Jane Kim partnered with the Cornell Lab to create this epic celebration of the evolution and diversity of birds, which was completed in December 2015.<a href="https://www.birdnote.org/explore/field-notes/2025/10/painting-wall-birds-reflections-artist-jane-kim" target="_blank">Read more about Jane in Field Notes!</a>More info and transcript at <a href="https://www.birdnote.org/podcasts/birdnote-daily/jane-kim-and-wall-birds" target="_blank">BirdNote.org</a>.Want more BirdNote? <a href="https://www.birdnote.org/subscribe-newsletter" target="_blank">Subscribe</a> to our weekly newsletter.
