| The Jayhawk is a mythical bird which combines the blue jay and the sparrow hawk. It is the University of Kansas mascot. These five bronze sculptures were created by Robin Richerson of Icon Artworks in 2019. They are three feet tall and depict the changes to the KU mascot from 1912, 1920, 1923, 1929, and 1941.

The first Jayhawk sculpture shown above was created by Peter M. Fillerup in 1983. The bronze sculpture is four-and-a-half feet tall and is titled "Kansas Jayhawk." It is installed in front of the Adams Alumni Center. [map]
The second Jayhawk statue shown above represents the current look of the KU mascot which has been used since 1946. It is installed in front of the Kansas Union building and is known as the "Classic Jayhawk." It was created in 2003 along with 30 other, five-foot-tall statues as part of the Jayhawks on Parade project. Each statue had a unique paint job. For more, see this website. [map] |

This Hawk that is installed in front of Hillsborough Community College is really an eagle statue. But the college is the "Home of the Hawks." The statue has been there since at least 2010. [map]
This Ostrich was installed in front of the News-Record building when I was there in 2008. The sculpture known as "Too Tall Ozzie" was produced by Dollores B. Shelledy. There was a "for sale" sign on the statue when I took this photo above. By 2012, the statue was gone. It appears that this statue was located in Sheridan, WY in 2010. I don't know where it is now. |
