I think we should share this. I’d sign on but we don’t live in the right County!

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
