Find All of the Birds!
74 five-foot birds were creatively designed by area artists and placed throughout Prince George's County from August thru October, 2003. Images of the artist's designs and the locations where the birds roosted are listed below. Birds I View gave visitors the opportunity to enjoy whimsical art while discovering the county and its communities.
See the official Birds I View Field Guide that was available for birdwatching journeys.
The birds were available at the locations below until the end of October 2003. To find out more about what the birds have been up to since October, visit our Galas & Events page.
