Found a dead barn owl today (road kill) on Ocean Parkway about a mile east of Gilgo Beach. It's in pretty good shape (not flattened), and should be good for mounting. I would like to have a consensus on who to donate it to. I was in a similar predicament a year or so ago when I found 2 dead short eared owls along the same stretch. I gave them to F&W Service and was later 'scolded' by birders who said they should have gone to a museum. Would appreciate suggestions.
Thanks.
