Metabolism Rates of S.Rufus During Torpor

Purpose

I would like to set up Hummingbird feeders to attract Rufus Hummingbirds. Then I would like to try to live capture them by setting up a mist-net in front of the feeders. Specimen are needed for metabolism measurements. Federal and state collection per
