Frozen in Flight

Growing up in coastal Georgia as the son of an avid hunter, Robert Olson became fascinated with birds at an early age. The region’s diverse and abundant avifauna fostered his appreciation for migratory birds in particular. After earning his degree in Wildlife Biology from the University of Georgia, Robert worked in the field to preserve and monitor various species and their habitats. Robert’s passing interest in taxidermy became a professional endeavor after studying under the acclaimed taxidermists Edward Harden and David Luke. Combining a variety of traditional and modern techniques, Robert constantly refines his processes to ensure the highest quality bird mounts. Robert’s personal investment is apparent in every bird he mounts, and this ensures a level of care and authenticity that is guaranteed to capture the beauty and essence of each individual species.
