Photographer Thaddeus Holownia and poet Harry Thurston sought to memorialize this fateful event, but with Canaport LNG on trial, the fallen birds were collected and held as evidence at the New Brunswick Museum. After two long years, Holownia and Thurston finally gained access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIcarus, Falling of Birds\u003c\/i\u003e pairs Holownia's photography with the poetry of Thurston.
