[AG] Phaenopepla and mistletoe

[Sue Bass]

Terry:
I received a response from Laurie Nessel with the Maricopa
Audubon Society.  Laurie says: Phaenopepla are inextricably
linked to mistletoe. They feed mainly on it, and also nest
in the clumps of mistletoe . . . . The Phaenopepla will have
to find new territory where there is still mistletoe.   For
more information, contact non-game branch. Try Troy Corman
789-3508 or Lori Averill Murray at 789-3577."
