Description: Burrows Park in Madison, Wisconsin, has one straight-winged bird effigy with a wing span of 128 feet created during Late Woodland culture (ca. 800-1100), here viewed from the tail looking toward the head. A running fox effigy located north of this effigy was destroyed. The bird effigy was vandalized and damaged but restored in 1934. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
