We collected a downy today within a few minutes of its demise in our
backyard. We'd been watching the bird all day as it acted lethargic. Cause
of death is unknown but probably illness or other natural cause. It's now
in our freezer and we are wondering if there is any public or private entity
that would like to have it for study or display. If anyone can make a
suggestion it will be appreciated. Thanks.
