That’s how I acquired my full-mount juvenile red-tailed hawk. It missed its target at the neighbour’s bird feeder and crashed headfirst into their glass door, breaking its neck. A dramatic example of the risks birds face in our built environment!

My colleague points out here that possibly one in seven requests to our library now may be assisted by LLMs.
When those point to fictional documents, that's a huge staff time drain. There's often no quick way to check if an undigitized primary source doc exists beyond physically pulling some boxes.
