Put the bird in a ziplock bag & seal it. Make a label about ID, location, date, and any other details (cause of death), and put that and the first zip lock bag into another ziplock bag. Then pop them into a freezer until you can get the specimen to the Museum. They will prepare the skin, take DNA samples and other samples, and put your find to good use.

age Carr <page...@q.com>: Aug 27 08:00AM -0700 Sad morning. Our neighbor called us after a female Yellow Warbler ran into their window. We rushed over to see if it was okay but unfortunately she died in our hands. She was un-banded. My daughter had read an article about bird obituaries but the only one we could find was one for New York. Is there a Colorado database for dead birds? Thank you for your help.Page and Cairn
