This came to me recently and I thought it might be good for all to see. Is this something we can distribute to the whole membership through the email list?

Hi Mr. McGrane,

My name is Lucas Price and I am a student at Lees-McRae College studying wildlife biology. I was given your email by Dr. Cody Porer to reach out to about possibly partnering with members of HCAS.

I am currently conducting a research project on mobbing behavior and predator response in songbirds, specifically in White-breasted Nuthatches. Part of my project is running trials using predator models at established bird feeding stations. I was wondering if you would be willing to ask members of the High-Country Audubon Society if any of them would allow me to run trials at some of their feeders?
I am looking for about 7-10 people who live in Avery or Watauga County for this. Trials normally take about thirty minutes each and are conducted entirely outside. Additionally, I would set up appointments with anyone interested and plan for when I would be visiting. Ideally, I would conduct a total of two trials at each location on separate days. The timeframe for this would be throughout the month of March and possibly early April.

My contact information is included below:

Feel free to pass this info along to any who may be interested in helping.

Sincerely,
Lucas Price
