PUBLIC NOTICE - Government of Canada Allowing the Temporary Possession of
Dead Migratory Birds

The Government of Canada wants to inform the public of a variance to
paragraph 6(b) of the Migratory Birds Regulations, to allow for the
temporary possession of found dead migratory birds, which is in effect until
August 2014.

As public participation in the study of dead migratory birds is necessary to
help conduct surveys on avian viruses, it is permitted to temporarily
possess dead migratory birds to allow for swift delivery of such birds to
provincial or territorial authorities for analysis. The Government of Canada
is responsible, under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994, to ensure
that migratory birds are protected and conserved, and testing dead birds is
believed to be the most effective method available for the detection of
avian viruses.

What you need to do if you find a dead migratory bird:
Call the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre at 1-800-567-2033

Visit the Public Health Agency of Canada website for guidance on precautions
to take when handling wild birds.

A male HB slammed into the window while being chased by another one this
afternoon. I put it in a dark safe spot (shoebox) but it never did recover. 

It is in the freezer for now. Does anybody want it?
