Master Bird Taxidermist · Vina, Alabama · Est. 1998
Your trophy bird, mounted by a Master.
Wings Over Water Studios is the Alabama bird studio of Master Taxidermist Blake Wilson — a specialist in waterfowl and upland game bird mounts, working with hunters across the country from a small studio near Huntsville.
01 The Studio
Bird taxidermy worth what the trip cost you.
From traditional flying and standing mounts on driftwood, to full executive glass cases with habitat, every bird leaves the studio looking like the moment you saw it in the wild.
Take a few minutes to look through the gallery. When you're ready to talk through your bird, your pose, and your timeline — call.
