I am also interested in receiving bird carcasses. I teach ornithology
at the University of Mary Washington and am creating a permanent skin
collection for my biology department. I have been trained by the
Smithsonian's NMNH ornithology staff to prepare skins properly for
long-term preservation, and I have all required permits from the state
and federal governments. My UMW students and I would benefit greatly
from continued donations of carcasses to enhance my ornithology lab
collection.

Subject: [va-bird] Dead Bird - What to Do?
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 17:28:56 -0400
My daughter just found a freshly deceased Worm-Eating Warbler. She
to know if any groups or individuals need the body for research or
whatever. If so, should she put the bird into the refrigerator or the
freezer until we can get it to the correct place?
Thanks,
