Wallis,

Please save the bird by placing it in a plastic ziplock bag your freezer with
notes about where, when and how you found the bird. You did not put your
locality in you message, but as soon as possible, take the bird to the Berk,
Slater, or Connor Museum. If you can't deposit the bird yourself, I am sure
that there is someone nearby that can do it for you.

Thanks,

Russell
