A Smithsonian employee, probably Nelson Wood, sits at a table working on bird specimens in an upstairs room in the Old Shed in the South Yard. Stuffed birds are on either side of him and other specimens sit on the shelves above him. A tray of bird skins sits on the floor in front of his table awaiting mounting. Other tools and supplies are scattered around the room.
