Haley Daniels has been collecting feces of Painted Buntings at LLELA during the summer of 2023. The birds are caught in mist nets, placed in special holding bags, banded, and fecal samples are collected from the holding bags. The pertinent data of date, band number, sex, age, weight, etc., is recorded. Now is the time to check the fecal eDNA and learn about the diet of these beautiful birds.
Haley needs pledges to meet her first funding goal of $5,000. She has a small matching pledge from Friends of LLELA but needs the support of everyone visiting this website.
