Thanks for all the private replies and support. It is all going to be OK...I am just going to be not able to salvage any dead bird you find anymore unless you have a permit nor is any sub-permitee. Thanks to all the uproar. I am sorry as are the collections. That is all I am going to say. No need to drag this on. -- Brush Freeman Independent and affiliated Field Biologist 361-655-7641 http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca Alacranes., Utley,Texas The greatest musician of all time is mother nature.
