Wisdom Mural 🐦 Multi-Cache

Wisdom 

 

This new mural, titled Wisdom was created by Annapolis-based artists Jeff Huntington (aka Jahru) and Julia Gibb. It is intended to bring awareness to local wildlife and the Patuxent River while honoring Dr. Chandler Robbins (1918–2017) of Laurel, Maryland. Known affectionately as Chan, he was one of the most widely admired and internationally respected field ornithologists. His contributions to the field include co-authorship of an influential field guide to birds, as well as organizing the North American Breeding Bird Survey. Robbins banded a female Laysan albatross named Wisdom on Midway Island in 1956. As of 2025, Wisdom is at least 74 years old and is the oldest verified living wild bird. You can read more about Dr. Robbins HERE.
