SPARROW SWAP IS WRAPPING UP AND NO LONGER ACCEPTING DATA OR EGGS
People who monitor nestboxes can collect house sparrows eggs and send them to the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. Participants can opt to participate in one of two ways:
Remover– Remove house sparrow eggs and/or nest and make 3 follow up visits to the nestbox and 3 of its neighbors. Once you join the project you can find the instructions and data sheets in the participant files section below.
Swapper– Swap in fake house sparrow eggs and make 3 follow up visits to the nestbox and 3 of its neighbors. Once you join the project, you can find the instructions and data sheets in the participant files section below.
Data collected from follow-up visits will help evaluate the effectiveness of house sparrow management strategies.
