This hall's dioramas represent the bird life of the far-flung islands of the Pacific. These islands are geologically diverse, ranging from low coral to high mountains. One of the dioramas represents the bird population of the Guano Islands, named after the birds excretion, or guano, that coats the islands rocks. Boobies, cormorants, pelicans, and terns are attracted by the huge population of fish in the area. Specimens ranging from New Guinea to Galapagos Islands can also be found in the hall.
