Birdsong is a unique multi-faceted public art installation.
Over 150 bird sculptures hand-painted by local artists are installed in the trees in downtown Hudson, as well as a large bird sculpture mosaiced in ceramic tiles that were painted by members of the community. Surprising flocks of color are popping downtown!
The vision of Birdsong is to discover wonder in the way birds sing their own songs for different reasons, but together they create an inspiring sound of unity. Our lives make a sound as well - what sound will they make? We aim to foster reflection and hope, spark conversation, and enjoy community centered around this narrative of gentle beauty.
Artist Gallery
As you explore the Birdsong installation, use the map to discover more about the birds and the artists who painted them.
​
The Bird Zones each include ten birds. For example, Zone 1 includes birds numbered 1 - 10, Zone 2 includes birds numbered 11-20, etc.
The Bird Zone number is also the page number in the gallery where a photograph of the bird can be found.
