Default Bird Taxidermist

I had an epic day today and shot a mallard, widgeon and Red head that were absolutely spectacular. I'm going to get them done as a lanyard mount. I'm wondering if I could get some advice on which taxidermist to use? I'm in Edmonton but will get the birds to whom ever to get them done properly.

Thanks for the help!

Ben at Art of Taxidermy. He did an amazing deer for me and from what I've seen and what I've heard he is the best bird man in the biz!
