I have already called the DNR In Liberty Co,Ga and THEY where of no help.It seems it is not there job to remove or even record the death of this endangered Bird.Nor are they worried that it might have died from the bird flu or killed by a poacher.So if some one knows what I’m to do with this Kite I would really like to know.And no I will not dump it on the door steps of the DNR.

I would suggest burying it before it starts to smell.

Protected species die of natural causes all the time. There is no need to contact anybody or have anybody record the death. They do not track endangered species by counting each individual animal. They use a method in which they conduct a survey to estimate the population of the species. As such, they really don’t need to be alerted every time one has died or is born. If there is no sign that it was killed deliberately, give the poor thing a little dignity and bury it.
