I certainly am not "collecting" them as I do not feel I have the appropriate knowledge/skills/licenses to pick up and save dead owls. I did however report immediately (within minutes) to the Duluth RBA and then later that evening to the listservers the exact location of what appeared to be a roadkill Great Grey in excellent condition (If it wasn' t on the shoulder of the road, i'd have never known it was probably a road kill as what I couild see of the bird (I didn't turn it over or touch it etc) was all in great shape, feather-wise etc)). Hopefully this reporting of the owl allowed someone with more experience and expertise in this area to retrieve it.

I just received an inquiry about what to do about a dead "Barred Owl" hit by a car near Brimson. Is anyone studying them to see what condition their bodies are in? If not, is there a good institution where they should be brought? Laura Erickson Duluth, MN NOTE address change: [email protected] Producer, "For the Birds" radio program <http://www.lauraerickson.com/> There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. --Rachel Carson _______________________________________________ mou-net mailing list [email protected] http://cbs.umn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mou-net
