Roadkill birds

Question: What are the rules concerning the use of birds of prey, such as owls, which have been killed by vehicles? I have found several in the local area that seemed to be dead along the side of the road but without evidence of damage to the body. My guess based on where they fell is they are “indirect roadkills.” If I wanted to save these animals for taxidermy or another use, would I need some kind of documentation? If so, what sort of permit would I need? It would be simple to document the finds I have made photographically at the site, but preserving them for inspection later by California Department of Fish and Wildlife would be harder. Thanks for your help with this.

The Plumas County softball teams are well into their seasons now, and Quincy’s team sits on top. Portola’s team also stands with a winning record, while Chester and Greenville trail behind.

The Trojans faced off against Truckee High last Tuesday in Quincy, and dominated Truckee 16-0. The game only made it to the top of the fifth before it was called. The win brings Quincy’s record up to 7-3-1.

Quincy’s pitcher Brooke Potter was the clear star of the game against Truckee. This was Potter’s second shut out of the season, having blanked Portola earlier in March. Potter gave up just three hits, one walk and one hit batter.

Indians smash Westwood in doubleheader

Victory never tasted so sweet.

The Greenville Indians went up against the Westwood Lumberjacks in a doubleheader March 26 and racked up runs in both games to win 16-1 and 11-1. The wins brought Greenville’s record up to 4-2 overall.

The victories came with a sigh of relief for the Indians, as their record against Westwood has not always been so hot. Westwood had won the last nine games.

“We’re making good progress, but we still have a long way to go,” said Greenville coach Mike Chelotti. “This last series, though, we played well in every facet. Our hitting and pitching were both really solid, and it felt good to get a win.”

Extra ammo

Question: I wonder if you can settle a bet for me and my friends. They told me when hunting for turkeys, it is illegal to also carry shotgun slug ammunition. I disagree because what if someone wants to carry slugs in case they get the chance that a pig might run by? Please set us straight.
