And of course there are probably some kinds of birds that Dept. of Nat. Resources, Wildlife Division, in Kentville, may have special interest in, but Acadia can always contact DNR about those for specimens that come in to the university. Acadia's Biology Dept. can be contacted at 585-1334 (Wanda and Nancy are the two secretaries there). Cheers from Jim in Wolfville ---------- From: Randy Lauff <randy.lauff@gmail.com> Reply-To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 16:48:23 -0300 To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] a question about deceased birds Andrew Hebda (Curator of Zoology, NSMNH HEBDAAJ@gov.ns.ca) and I (Curator of all things Dead, STFXU, rlauff@stfx.ca <mailto:rlauff@stfx.ca> ) often look for additions to our respective collections. Folks can contact either one of us (there are perhaps others as well) if you have specimens to contribute. Typical feeder birds, like Hummers, are well-represented in our collection (I have at least three still in the freezer waiting for processing), and I suspect they are well-represented in the collection of the NSMNH as well. I could really use a vulture though...anyone? Perhaps a local highschool may have some interest in the hummingbird? A Whimbrel would be a really, really cool addition to our collection...
