[TriLUG] OT: anyone know what this is?

[Roy Vestal]

I would assume, based on the shape and size, it's a diving bird, similar 
in size to a pelican or crane. Based on the damage, it probably got 
"attacked" from the underside.

If you're in the Raleigh area, you could run it down to the Museum of 
Natural Sciences ( or whatever it's name is) and see if they can match it.

Just my $0.02...keep the change.
