Hi Blake: =20
=20
The Atlantic Veterinary College welcomes any/all specimens for necropsy =
to determine cause of death. They track wildlife diseases throughout =
Atlantic Canada. Parks Canada sends all of our (unfortunate) specimens =
there for free necropsy. My guess is they would be glad to get it. You =
could contact Dr Scott McBurney. I=E2=80=99d have to search their =
website for a phone number so I=E2=80=99ll leave that to you to pursue =
if interested. =20
=20
It is curious that it would die now with presumably lots of food sources =
around. Maybe it swallowed something containing lead, or poison (as =
some folks are still unfortunately using rat poisoning at their summer =
cottages, home shops and attics, etc).

Subject: [NatureNS] Snowy Owl Corpse
=20
While on a group hike yesterday (June 12) in the Polly's Cove area (just =
east of Peggy's Cove) I found a freshly dead Snowy Owl. The corpse was =
in fine condition, and is now in my freezer. It seemed emaciated, and =
so perhaps died of starvation. There was no sign of any predation.
I sent a message to Andrew Hebda of the NS Museum to ascertain if he =
wishes the specimen for the collection, but there has not yet been a =
response. If he cannot use it (or does not respond) then where else can =
this specimen go? I recall Randy Lauff looking for birds for the St. FX =
collection. =20
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Blake
