We are in the process of updating exhibits and interpretation of our
North American bird exhibition.  Part of this project includes the
restoration of beak and feet coloration for many specimens that are nearly
100 years old.  I am interested in locating good visual reference
materials (photographic records, possibly sources used by taxidermists)
that would show close-up views with accurate color representation.  Any
suggestions?

 Good feet are hard to find!
