The collection includes study skins, skeletal material, taxidermy mounts, frozen tissue samples (~10000 individuals), and associated parasites (ecto and endo; curated separately). Growth of the collection continues primarily through field collection and salvage activities. A collection of approximately 7,000 egg sets and nests is curated separately.
