Save those little cadavers
My cat brings in a variety of small rodents from the woods. In a recent chat with a taxidermist who does work for the Burke Museum and others, he told me the Burke may be interested in any dead animal for study, even in poor condition. They had a hard time getting crows and mallards, people think they are too common to save!
Marrowstone is an untapped resource. If you find something, photograph and measure it, wrap in paper then plastic and put it in your freezer. Post on iNat to document size, date, place and time. Contact the Burke:
https://www.burkemuseum.org/contact-us and ask if they are interested in the specimen, or submit an ID form.
Of course if it's a marine mammal, dead or alive, you should also contact the Marine Mammal Stranding Network via PTMSC.
