Watson M. Perrygo stands in his Taxidermy Studio located in the United States National Museum (USNM), now the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Various plants and bird specimens can be seen in the room. Perrygo began his career at the USNM in 1927 as a scientific aide in the Division of Mammals and the taxidermy studio. In addition to the taxidermic and other collection-related work, Perrygo was sent on field trips to collect birds, mammals, and snakes unrepresented in the USNM.
