[NHCOLL-L:819] Dessicating small bird specimens

[Leslie Skibinski]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

I am posting this for a small museum that doesn't have internet access yet.
They have a permit to salvage birds.  They have some small birds (warblers
etc.) that they would like to dessicate instead of making them into study
skins or having them taxidermied.  They would like to know more about this
process.  How much it would cost.  Pros and cons, etc.  Please reply to them
at (410) 367-2217.  Ask for Joy Wheeler.  If you would like to write to
them, their address is Cylburn Nature Museum, 4915 Greenspring Ave.,
Baltimore, MD  21209.  Thanks alot.
