This is not to compete with Randy and Andrew, but I think I can speak up
here for Acadia Univ. and our Curator, Fred Scott, who may want to add to
this, particularly for people here in The Valley.  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

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...

Hi All: 

Sadly this morning my husband found a dead hummingbird in the loft of our
barn.  I thought I remembered seeing on the list that you should send any
birds that are found to someone who is studying them.  Could someone please
advise me on this matter?

 

Thanks 

Dorothy and Van 

Woods Harbour, NS
