I observed a hummingbird do just that as well – flatten and shape the material with her body.

Thanks for the post and the good words about Birdshare and All About Birds! WIthout your contributions and those of other amateur photographers, a site like All About Birds simply couldn’t exist – and certainly not as a free online resource open to anyone with a curiosity about birds. Thanks for helping out! -Hugh (All About Birds editor)

Thanks for that info, Jamie. It was in the back of my mind that this was ‘illegal’, so I must have read it somewhere. I guess I’ll need to investigate it further. I’ve seen many drawings of found dead birds by artists I admire so I wonder how they get around the illegality question, or if they all donate them to collections?

In any case it’s been fascinating to see both the drawings and the photos.

Well, technically it is “illegal” to pick up a dead bird (even a loose feather) unless you possess a permit. Even dead birds fall under the taking clause of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Having said that, I was also told by a museum curator that a dead bird can be considered “in transit” as long as it ends up in the appropriate place such as a university or museum collection.
