--e89a8f646e73bc69aa04cf68d371 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 All, I realize many of you aren't hunters, but some are. Please feel free to forward this request to any duck hunters you may know. Many of you know me as a biologist at StFX; I am currently doing some work with DNR on bird collisions with wires over the Canso Causeway. Rarely do we find an intact bird since scavengers (both bird and mammal) normally get there before us. So we have to identify the remains based on what is left of the plumage or bones. Although we have a decent bone collection at StFX, we are missing some of the ducks, mostly diving ducks. If anyone wants to contribute a specimen to us, that would be wonderful. The list below is of all the ducks we need, not just the divers. You can get in touch with me at rlauff@stfx.ca. Intact specimens would be great, but if the breast meat was removed, that would be fine, too. Thank you, Randy White-winged Scoter Surf Scoter Any Scaup (Greater, Lesser, Ring-neck, Canvasback, Redhead, Tufted - yeah, I know most of these [except greaters] are not so common or even rare around here, but if I don't ask...) American Wigeon (European would be good too...there's at least one in the upper Antigonish Harbour right now) Gadwall Bufflehead Barrow's Goldeneye _________________________________ RF Lauff Way in the boonies of Antigonish County, NS. --e89a8f646e73bc69aa04cf68d371 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <p style=3D"margin:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Verdana,s= ans-serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px">All,</p><p style=3D"margin:0px;fon= t-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:13.636= 36302947998px"> <br></p><p style=3D"margin:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,V= erdana,sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px">I realize many of you aren= 't hunters, but some are.
