Pelecanidae
This rather large pelican was recovered from the depths of the avian freezer before the New Year. From my understanding it had been in there for 6-8 years, making it a little difficult to work with. Sam was going to attempt to salvage a study skin from the bird but ended up spending the majority of his time washing and rewashing it as it bled from some well concealed wounds. He hopes to prepare its skeleton and at the very least the skull, but I couldn’t resist posting a few pictures of it while it was mid-wash in the lab sink.
The Bone Collectors
Having a hard time finding a place that is just for people that focus on collecting bones? Well I had that problem and this blog is to unite the novice and the seasoned bone collectors. Here there will be pictures of different kinds of bones, how-to's, and anything else I can find that pertains to bone collecting and a little bit of taxidermy. (Pelt and limb preservation, jewelry, etc)
Me, being a bone collecting novice, will try to help put forth as much information as possible so we can all expand our knowledge, bring back this dying art that's most commonly frowned upon and have a bad-ass collection of bones ;D
