This bronze courting pair of Pigeon Guillemots perched on the lap of renowned wildlife sculptor Tony Angell will have a permanent home at the Northwest Maritime Center. It is anticipated that the installation and dedication will occur when the weather is a little warmer, say spring or early summer of 2014. More information about that will come later on.
Between now and then, Eleanor's friends are still working hard to complete the fundraising effort. Thanks to everyone who has donated thus far, and to those who might consider stepping up to add a contribution to the cause. Donations of any amount are welcome.
The sculpture's visibility at the Northwest Maritime Center will provide a striking presence to inform visitors and remind locals of the story of Protection Island and Eleanor's role in the creation of a National Wildlife Refuge off our coast.
