Hi Heidi,
I found a dead Sora in the street by my house on Saturday morning! That was
certainly a surprise. I live in Central San Antonio. I assumed it was
migrating and hit the wire or the street light there. Too bad... I
photographed it and immediately put it in a bag in the freezer and then had to
leave town, so that's why I'm just now posting.
I will contact Dr. Arnold about instructions on who I should pass it along
to... unless you have an idea.
Thanks!
