The 10/14/13 Bones episode titled "The Lady on the List" brought about a few points of discussion.
I am not aware of the Smithsonian having a veterinarian on staff to be able to capture and care for a wild hawk. Amazingly Dr. Saroyan drew blood from the bird without issue for analysis. It is true that animals feast on the remains and that information can be obtained from what they regurgitate or defecate but I doubt that an agency would care for the rodent, bird, or mammal with as much care as was taken tonight.
Another issue is with the removal of the face like a Halloween mask. What happened to all the muscles and tendons and such holding the face on the skull? I have never seen anyone just "lift" the face without the use of a scalpel to cut it away.
The last issue is with the ear wax. I am not discounting that there is a gold mine of information in the wax but I have never seen it analyzed outside of a television show. I doubt also that a neat little ball could be obtained from the remains as was depicted tonight.
Bones and Booth were not the only ones 'repelling' tonight.
