am currently doing some work with DNR on bird collisions with wires over th=
e Canso Causeway. Rarely do we find an intact bird since scavengers (both b=
ird and mammal) normally get there before us. So we have to identify the re=
mains based on what is left of the plumage or bones.=0A=0AAlthough we have =
a decent bone collection at StFX, we are missing some of the ducks, mostly =
diving ducks. If anyone wants to contribute a specimen to us, that would be=
 wonderful. The list below is of all the ducks we need, not just the divers=
. You can get in touch with me at rlauff@stfx.ca. Intact specimens would be=
 great, but if the breast meat was removed, that would be fine, too.=0A=0AT=
