I just finished reading The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace...

Real life can be absurdist and this book was stranger than fiction. A flautist and fly-tier breaking into a natural history museum to steal rare bird skins, then selling the feathers on the black market to Victorian salmon-fly tiers. Weird, informative and interesting. I just finished reading The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century by Kirk Wallace Johnson…
