[Nhcoll-l] material used for wrapping bird skins

[Kevin Winker]

Lisa et al., there are a number of options, including not wrapping at all
(but rather pinning). We usually pin, but will use gauze or thin cotton if
needed. A variety of methods is described here:

Winker, K. 2000. Obtaining, preserving, and preparing birds. Journal of
Field Ornithology 71:250-297.

Best, K.
