[NHCOLL-L:4370] California condor specimen histories

[Sanford Wilbur]

Thanks to all of you who provided information  on California condor 
specimens in museums. You notified me of about a half-dozen that I 
hadn't had on my list, bringing my total of known condor mortalities 
(not all preserved) to 402 birds. This is an increase of 100 records 
from the list I prepared in 1978, thanks to the wonders of internet 
communication and WorldWide Web resources (not even dreamed of in the 
"Dark Ages" of the 1970s, when we wrote letters to colleagues and 
sometimes waited weeks for a response).
   I've included on my website the list of institutions that have 
California condors, along with a description of what I'm doing (and 
why). I've also included a long list of further information I'm seeking 
to further build on the historical records. If you have any information 
or suggestions, I'd be pleased to hear from you.  The webpage is:

Thanks again.
