Tweeters,



Since I got ZERO replies to my inquiry about the dead Brown Creeper I found
in the yard today, it made me wonder if there is some sort of law against
picking it up and offering it as a specimen to a legitimate authority. Being
new to this state, I am not yet familiar with all the regulations.



I did some searching online and finally ended up at the page of the
Washington State Legislature.



According to WAC 232-12-287, it's illegal for me to even pick up a dead bird
on my own property. Well, I hope the bird didn't die of something
contagious; it's going back outside where I found it. *sigh*
