DIFFERENCES NOTED BETWEEN THE INVENTORY LISTING AND YOUR OBSERVATIONS AND RESEARCH:
In the picture on the Smithsonian website the bird is white limestone... in my picture the bird has been painted blue. Also the listing mentions a plaque and there is one shown in their picture. The plaque is missing.
