[birding] RFI: Evening Grosbeaks

[Joel Geier]

Hello all,

This message from a researcher at UC Davis comes by way of Linda Fink. 

Please respond to the researcher, Aaron Haiman at anhaiman at ucdavis.edu 
if you want to help.

Hi,

I am a graduate student at the University of California, Davis.  My 
research is on Evening Grosbeak subspecies.  I hope to find out how many 
subspecies exist, where they occur, and what the differences between 
them are.  My plan is to find groups of birds from throughout the 
western part of the their range and band, measure, record, and collect 
blood samples from them.  My first step is to locate the birds, and 
since they are nomadic this can be difficult.  If you see groups of 
Evening Grosbeaks, especially if you see them several times in the same 
place, and would be willing to send me an email, I would very much 
appreciate it.  Any information (where, when, how many, etc.) will be 
very useful.

Thank you very much,
Aaron
