Hi Tweeters,

I'm compiling a list of the most common breeding birds in the 100 largest cities in the world. (The list of cities I'm using can be found at:
http://www.citymayors.com/features/largest_cities1.html).

If you, or anyone you know, is familiar with the birds of any of these cities, could you email me directly so I can send you a questionnaire?

The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of urban birds, and to create a data set for use in testing hypotheses about urban birds. Once the study is complete, I will make the data publicly available.

Thank you for your help.
