Dear Texbirders,
I'm a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Oklahoma studying the hybrid
zone between Tufted and Black-crested Titmice (some of y'all may
remember some of my previous RFIs for titmouse sites and posts long,
long ago on Wise County birds). I'm nearing the end of my degree, but
still have a bit more work to do. Right now, I'm looking for two sites
at which to trap titmice at bird feeders: one in the Denton area (or to
the east or north) to obtain Tufted Titmice and a site in the Childress
or Quanah area for Black-crested Titmice. I need somewhere where you
are regularly feeding titmice, as that's the easiest way for me to catch
them this time of year.
I have all the appropriate permits and am happy to explain in detail
what I'll be doing with the birds (long story short: a female mate
choice experiment to see if females prefer their own species or the
other species). The birds will be released 2-4 weeks after capture,
back where I got them. I'm looking to do this trapping between now and
the end of February/early March at the latest. So, if you have bird
feeders and regular and numerous titmice, please let me know if you'd be
interested in letting me trap at your place. You can reach me either at
this email address (larksparrow@xxxxxxxxxxxx) or at cmcurry@xxxxxx.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Best,
Claire
