There seems to be a number of rare birds in our state lately, especially the limpkins. A few years ago there was a Caracara here, but it seemed to be flying randomly because it was sick. So that got me to thinking. There was a limpkin at Bald Knob NWR Saturday but wasn't seen Sunday. We are going up there today. What if we spot a carcass of an expired limpkin? Is there a procedure for rare bird bodies? Is there somebody we notify because they are doing a study on birds that have left their usual area? I surely hope that doesn't happen, but I thought it might be something good to know - just in case.
