Hi All,
Rachel Echols bluebird photos reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask
about for a while...I hope this isn't too off-topic for the listserv.
I am one of two graduate students at the College of William and Mary attending
the International Society for Behavioral Ecology (what a mouthful!) conference
later this summer.. Both of us study bluebirds and are always looking for good
pictures to illustrate our talks. It's pretty easy for us to get pictures of
us doing field work, but neither of us has lenses good enough to capture
high-quality images of nestlings in boxes, fledglings, or adults. It's really
helpful to have good pictures because many of our audience members are from the
west coast or other continents, and their only exposure to bluebirds is the
images we display in our Powerpoints.
That said, if any of you would like to donate digital photographs, it would be
much appreciated. You'll get full credit in our slides, and the satisfaction
of knowing that you are helping educate people about this beautiful species!
You can contact me at specialagentCK@xxxxxxx or crkigh@xxxxxx if you'd like to
send images or links.
Thanks,
Caitlin K.
