FROM LAST TIME


Morticians? “Now I know it’s been a while since I gradu - ated if I can answer these historical questions,” quips Matt Stanger ’00. But he does remember these ornithological mortu- ary scientists: “The two guys in the photo are Dave Vogel ’99 and Dana Warren ’98. I’m guessing that they’re with Dr. Corey Freeman-Gallant’s bird collection. I know both these guys were in some of my ecology and evolutionary bio classes.” Indeed the photo of the biology department’s col- lection of stuffed bird specimens was shot for an April 1998 Scope story de- scribing how the collec- tion was being enlarged through the work-study jobs of Vogel and Warren. When he was hired in 1997, biology professor Freeman-Gallant, an or-


nithologist, was pleased to find that Skidmore’s bird collection was surprisingly good, thanks to faculty colleagues Laurie Freeman (no relation), Bill Brown, and others who’d collected, preserved, and donated a wide range of avian cadavers. Even before the student workers reorganized and enlarged it, it en- compassed 151 species, with some species represented by sev- eral individuals, ranging in age from antiques with labels dating to the early 1900s right up to the freshly thawed and carefully everted, evis- cerated, and gauze- stuffed yellow-bellied sapsucker, barred owl, sharp-shinned hawk, downy woodpecker, and others prepared by War- ren, Vogel, and Freeman- Gallant.—SR
