MARCH 12th

| (Savannah Hawk) |
A sad day as nature took its course and the juvenile
Savannah Hawk was found dead in the scrub near the transitional forest. The
juvenile was in perfect condition when it was found and could not have been
dead for long so I took it back to the base so that it could be exhibited in
the museum. Helen performed the post mortem today (13th), that
revealed the cause of death was mal nutrition and an infection probably caused
by the former.
Helen has spent all day processing this fine specimen and
what an excellent job she has made of it. The bird is now stuffed and treated and
its spirit will live on in the Laguna Blanca Museum!
