--e89a8f64277a849808051ba2973f Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Several weeks ago, I posted my annual-ish report on the status, and needs, of the StFX vertebrate zoology collection. Several people wrote to me or contributed "that bird which has been in the freezer for years but didn't know what to do with". Thank you for those. I made a point a few weeks ago to work on "those small things which keep dropping to the bottom of my chest freezer." I've cleaned three skeletons in the last three days (via Dermestid beetles), and with those, the StFX collection has now exceeded 150 species of bird. Those last three birds and their collectors were: Tree Swallow, Fritz McEvoy, 2005 Grasshopper Sparrow, Clarence Stevens and Fulton Lavender (found dead at Canso, 2005) Bay-breasted Warbler, Sunny Tait The last one is from 1998 05 25. I have tried locating Sunny Tait via the internet, but no luck. I would benefit from knowing the locality of the specimen. Can anyone help me track down the collector?
