Learn about spoofing<http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSpoofing> Feedback<http://aka.ms/SafetyTipsFeedback> Several people have asked about cause of death. The bird was clearly hit by a car with a fractures in both hind limbs and the pelvis. Jonas Lai has skinned the bird and we have obtained the following data. The bird was a male with testes 5 x 2.5 mm It weighed 100g which is rather light for this species. Published weights range from 135-210 g ((Handbook of the Birds of Europe the Middle East and North Africa). There was no fat but the pectoral muscles did not appear atrophied. Stomach contained tiny insect parts which have been persevered but not identified. A moderate parasite load of Acanthocephalans was identified by AMNH parasitologists Mark Siddall and Michael Tessler Paul Sweet Collection Manager Department of Ornithology American Museum of Natural History Central Park West at 79th Street New York, NY 10024 Tel: 212 769 5780 Cell: 718 757 5941 -- -- NYSbirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.northeastbirding.com%2FNYSbirdsWELCOME.htm&data=01%7C01%7Csweet%40amnh.org%7C95afc010d7d14cef5dd308d527acd4a0%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=w%2BmEb3xV8yZAxAbxy7mSE9BA9YC5fFJP7krgzPClPhY%3D&reserved=0> Rules and Information<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.northeastbirding.com%2FNYSbirdsRULES.htm&data=01%7C01%7Csweet%40amnh.org%7C95afc010d7d14cef5dd308d527acd4a0%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=w87VdaOOPpwqAF%2FCHY9N3Y2k3AlV4bCVfEfi781TFVM%3D&reserved=0> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.northeastbirding.com%2FNYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm&data=01%7C01%7Csweet%40amnh.org%7C95afc010d7d14cef5dd308d527acd4a0%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=OCd8vhVwHYNCOHzmi%2BnJ1Pa4N3YBfJ4N5TgmqBnVMMs%3D&reserved=0> Archives: The Mail Archive<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mail-archive.com%2Fnysbirds-l%40cornell.edu%2Fmaillist.html&data=01%7C01%7Csweet%40amnh.org%7C95afc010d7d14cef5dd308d527acd4a0%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=QnpZZs8KLWAcdteyYvcCUmqQh1plyMGBsnSc%2B664A5U%3D&reserved=0> Surfbirds<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.surfbirds.com%2Fbirdingmail%2FGroup%2FNYSBirds-L&data=01%7C01%7Csweet%40amnh.org%7C95afc010d7d14cef5dd308d527acd4a0%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=kWMwUhKplbJYHx6oNxPHIVfSgpx8em%2F0peKQ6TpvD1w%3D&reserved=0> ABA<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbirding.aba.org%2Fmaillist%2FNY01&data=01%7C01%7Csweet%40amnh.org%7C95afc010d7d14cef5dd308d527acd4a0%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=ojUoC0hsSmfzTkTjnJbAVn%2FWxZP1BcaGl4tTcxv2zZ8%3D&reserved=0> Please submit your observations to eBird<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Febird.org%2Fcontent%2Febird%2F&data=01%7C01%7Csweet%40amnh.org%7C95afc010d7d14cef5dd308d527acd4a0%7Cbe0003e8c6b9496883aeb34586974b76%7C0&sdata=cJlrUbPl71KCyovboulR0ClJxoG3%2FX7%2B9vbXHnhwml8%3D&reserved=0>! -- -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
