Greetings:

A colleague is doing research on the sources of fecal contamination in Chesapeake Bay waters.  He collects scat from a variety of sites.  He has asked me for an opinion about some samples from the Audubon sanctuary in Bozman, Talbot Co.  His description sounds like large waterfowl (goose/swan) but the habitat where it was collected was all wrong (pine forest).  Is there anyone on this list who could offer more insight / expertise than I can?  Please reply off list to cmccollough at dnr.state.md.us.

Thanks!
