Birds

Migratory birds require a license number and hunter signature before they will be accepted (Federal Migratory Bird Tag pdf file). All birds should be sent to our facility with name, address, phone number (s), hunting license numbers, and any other special permits. Do not send specimens without this information.  If you have been given a specimen and you do not possess a hunting license, be sure to get all this information from the individual who gave you the specimen.  All of our books are open to the California and Federal Fish and Game officials for inspection.  You will be responsible for providing the correct and accurate information.  If you are not sure about some procedure, or information is unclear, please call us first and we can help you.
