From: "Hinshaw, Janet" To: birders@umich.edu Date sent: Tue, 10 May 2011 11:30:22 -0400 Subject: [birders] dead birds wanted Send reply to: "Hinshaw, Janet" I'd like to remind everyone that we want dead birds that you might find. Put each in a good quality plastic bag (freezer bags best). Please put a piece of paper in the bag with your name, location of where the bird was found, and the date found. Put in your freezer or bring in right away. Please e-mail me first in case I won't be here. Please nothing very smelly, unless it's rare! I'm looking for a pair of house finches in good condition for the Bio Station, so would particularly welcome those. Locations can be street address, GPS, or direction and distance from nearest crossroads. County and township appreciated. Thank you!

Rick brought to my attention that people have asked if I still want dead birds. Yes please! We gladly take any window or road kills that are still in good shape. That means not rotten (smelly, or with maggots, or chunks missing), or a pancake. Please put in a plastic bag with a piece of paper that has your name, date you found the bird, and exact location you found it. If you can't bring it in right away, please freeze and get to me as soon as you can. Please NO Great Horned Owls or Great Blue Herons or baby robins. Anything else we can take. Please call or e-mail me to make arrangements to drop them off. I can meet people in the parking lot so you don't have to park. We get about 300 birds a year, mostly brought in by the public. Thank you very much!
