****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.
