The Musee de la Vallee of Barcelonnette holds an important collection of mounted birds specimens started by Joseph Adolphe Caire (1809-1884) during the 19th century and completed by Emile Chabrand (1843-1893) who travelled around the world. The Caire-Chabrand Collection houses 880 specimens representing 487 species of birds, collected in all continents but mainly in France and Europe. One extinct species, the Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius), is represented by an adult male.
