>I was so interested in your posting on Starlings in Tweeters- when i saw
that research title about LEWO and EUST i thought i had finally gotten
beat to my dream research project! I was SHOCKED to read that the study
found LEWO to be such strong nest defenders- I did my Master's Degree (UW)
research in Klickitat County on ATFL nest habitat selection. I watched
LEWO and EUST for three years during this time. NEVER did i observe a
successful nest- those EUST got every nest cavity i ever witnessed LEWO
attempting to nest in. Now of course this is not documented data- simply
observations but i do feel the situation may be different in Klickitat
county (as opposed to CO).
>Hey if i could just get some funding- i would be so happy to finally get
some data on this topic which has been nagging at me for years!!
