Description
Phillip "Phil" Wright discusses coming to work at the University of Montana Zoological Museum (now the Philip L. Wright Zoological Museum) in 1939 and his interest in the bird specimens in the C. F. Hedges collection. Wright and Richard "Dick" Hutto describe the history of ornithology, regulation of collecting permits, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1969, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and how the museum navigates preservation and access. The two also discuss the Boone and Crockett Club, the Elk Foundation, and the Dave Skaar’s Lati-long List of Birds, as well as the future of the Zoological Museum.
