Mary Garvin asked me to post this minor amendment to the request I posted yesterday (see the statement in ALL CAPS): This is a follow-up to yesterday's posting requesting assistance with finding nestling starlings for studies of the role of preen gland in disease transmission. I am looking for starling nestlings, hoping to sample a few more before the breeding season is over. The sampling takes just a couple of minutes and doesn't hurt the birds. If anyone knows of active starling nests ANYWHERE IN OHIO I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Please contact me, Mary Garvin at ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
