When I spoke with him last,the veterinary pathologist at Eastport Duck Disease 
lab, Dr. Gavin Hitchner, expressed interest in examining dead birds. There are 
many other causes of death in birds besides West Nile disease and specimens 
that are submitted in a timely manor may reveal some valuable findings. The Lab 
phone number is: 631-325-0600.

Hi Shaibal,
I have moved to North Carolina. You could remove my name from the mailing list 
for hard copies. Might save you a penny or two mailing and printing. Keep up 
your great contribution to bird knowledge and conservation. Thanks.
