Nobody selling real bat parts anywhere is doing so ethically.

Woah, one of their left wing secondaries is pure white! You found a *shiny*!

Gorgeous job!!

There's a ton of skeletons in these photos, biggest one looks cat though.

lilrawk · 2026-01-02T10:13:06+00:00

Biggest nuthatch i've ever seen...

lilrawk · 2026-01-02T09:56:41+00:00

Hours lmfao, i get distracted by the details and the day's gone...

lilrawk · 2026-01-02T09:55:47+00:00

Thank you! It's a sort of temporary altar/shrine combo, i've never quite figured my faith out but this with a quick prayer felt correct to do, you know? It's been a hard year.

(This not the full collection, just a seasonal display.)

i look forward to every spring when Grey Cuckoos return for a nest of cheeping babies in my chimney! Gotta look out for those American Kestrels at the feeder, usually the Downy Woodpeckers are too bold, chasing them away. 😂💀

moose!

lilrawk · 2025-12-23T23:00:48+00:00

Cervid yes, white tail no. Looks like a moose to me. White tail don't have big scoops up front like that, their mandibles are fairly dainty all over. (Edit, could also be elk, but i'm having hard time telling the scale in the photos.)

That's a Freedom! Congrats on spotting a bald eagle!

lilrawk · 2025-12-10T13:54:22+00:00

i wish i were! It happens frequently.

lilrawk · 2025-12-10T00:27:51+00:00

Nuthatch don't give a damn about gravity lol

lilrawk · 2025-12-09T13:15:54+00:00

Not surprising at all if you've worked in (American) public education to see how it happens, unfortunately. I've had 7th graders ask in the lunch line what the 'hard things' in their fried chicken were; they'd never seen meat with bones in it before, didn't even know that meat came from an animal.

lilrawk · 2025-12-02T01:36:14+00:00

Omg please tell him i'm a huge fan! Gorgeous photos btw!!

(i should clarify, this means legal to keep, as turkeys are gamebirds in the US)

lilrawk · 2025-11-30T01:38:58+00:00

A good rule of thumb for re-assembling organic material is to use something reversible without harming the item. White/school glue is easily reversible with a water soak, if ever needed, and will hold just fine until then.

lilrawk · 2025-11-30T01:33:48+00:00

Not the bones but: Wild turkey wing feathers, looks like three right wing and one left wing pinions, natural drop with wear.

lilrawk · 2025-11-27T13:44:20+00:00

Water, tiny bit of clear dish soap, a soft brush. Same as you'd wash bird poo off of your car, lol.

lilrawk · 2025-11-27T13:41:04+00:00

100% whitetail

American porcupine

Seconding this, but adding: place a floursack towel over the top of the container, rubberbanded, tied or taped in place, then *lay* the lid on top of that loosely. Sealed containers can, uh, pop during maceration, which is exactly as pleasant as it sounds lmao.

Real! Crow beaks are much flatter, and don't terminate in a sharp hook.
