Drumheller has new bird species

Frank Hadfield and his staff at Dinosaur Valley Studios worked with the Rotary Club of Drumheller to create the Pterosaur model.  According to Past President Doug Stanford, it was a project that the Rotary Club of Drumheller thought would add something to the park including a little bit of shade for those hot summer days. 

 

The Pterosaur is situated 12 feet in the air, has a wingspan of 12 feet and an 8-foot body.   “Frank kind of designed the bird as to what it looked like in Prehistoric times.  He also told me that no one’s really sure of the colour and suggested we go this way so it would be more attractive and the kids would like it, so I said go ahead”, explained Stanford. 

 

In addition to the new Pterosaur, Rotary Park also received the orange, yellow and blue metal flowers that once resided at the Royal Tyrrell Museum.
