✦ Anecdote
The identification field contains 'Postage' which is highly unusual and appears to be either a data entry error or refers to some kind of postal or shipping notation rather than the typical bird identification methods used in oological records.

I know this collection — 779 GRCA egg sets, 1876–1990. Ask me about collectors, nesting habits, localities, incubation stages, or anything about Dumetella carolinensis biology.
Try: "Who collected the most records?" · "What materials are most common in nests?" · "Tell me about nests near streams" ·
