What's your Spark Bird?
For Roger Tory Peterson it was an unexpectedly intimate encounter with a northern flicker that sparked his lifelong passion for birds. RTPI is a proud founding sponsor of The Spark Bird Project, a scientific research initiative to gather and share the stories of people's passion for birds.

The Peterson Collection
RTPI is home to the largest collection of Roger's original artworks, films, photographs and related archival materials. To explore the Peterson Collection is to join Roger as he traveled the world in search of birds and other fauna and flora to paint, photograph, film, and in many instances, protect.
