If anyone in the Seattle/Tacoma area has any recently salvaged hummingbirds
in your freezer (from this summer) and would be willing to contribute them
to science, one of the world's hummingbird experts (Gary Stiles) is trying
to obtain frozen hummers for a study he is doing at the Smithsonian, and
I'd be happy to arrange to get them from you. Specimens from longer ago
aren't of value, as he needs reasonably good (not freeze-dried) weights
from them.

Thanks.

Dennis
