Hi all,
The loon discussion is also relevant to the situation with the entangled
Western Grebe at Piermont Pier. We have a rehabilitator lined up to help
this bird, provided the bird can be captured. We need someone with the

If an individual is going to transport the carcass to an institution that has
the proper permits the transporter should get verbal permission from the
recipient before moving the carcass.
Since this may be a bird that was shot, I would highly recommend the individual
to contact the local ECO in
Thanks Steve for the appropriate guidance. Would you be able to collect the
carcass? I have now posted photos at www.pbase.com/quetzal/loon11122009.
I understood that persons transporting carcasses to an institution holding a
