Bill,

The following is information about another Passenger Pigeon specimen.







Nancy has contacted me concerning your work on Passenger Pigeons. A year or
so ago Dr. David Klarer,
limnologist with the Ohio Division of Wildlife, Old Woman Creek State Nature
Preserve, Huron, Ohio asked me to look
at an immature specimen of what he suspected was a Passenger Pigeon. I
agreed with his suspicions, but brought the specimen to
the Cleveland Museum of Natural History for confirmation which they did. I
returned the specimen to the Visitor Center
at the Nature Preserve, and as far as I know the specimen is still there.







Cheers,
Charles E. Herdendorf, Professor Emeritus
