Dear Alan,
If the specimen is somewhere in the museum, it isn't on display anywhere. There
are a few specimens of rare warblers in the museum, but I don't think that
there are any specimens of any other review species on display in the museum. I
suspect that the specimen wasn't preserved. It would be nice to find the
specimen if it was preserved. Perhaps it was sent to some other museum such as
the Burke Museum.
Sincerely,
Tim Janzen

I think that specimen may be in the museum.

Someone recently asked if there was a record of Tricolored Heron from Oregon.
Dave found the reference in Littlefield's Birds of Malheur NWR, Oregon . It was
collected on October 31, 1945 at Benson Pond by G. Benson.
