Roxy Lee Borne and the Birds of the Smithsonian
Beth Ann Sabo was 22 and a master's student when she started working with Roxy Lee Borne. During the day, Beth Ann worked at the museum doing inventory for the bird collections. In the evenings, she would go to Roxy's lab for her training. The Division of Birds had 560,000 birds in it at that time; there were also 200-250,000 skeletons.
