The proportion of Culex blood meals of crow origin declined from 5 May (day 125) to 3 September (day 246) 2014 and with distance from active crow nests (distances > 10 m). The gray histogram indicates the number of active crow nests on each day of the season. The size of the circles depicts the number of bloodfed Culex collected on a single day, grouped by proximity to an active crow nest (i.e. >/< 10 m from a crow nest). No blood meals were of crow origin after 18 June 2014 (day 169), after which all focal nestlings had fledged from nests
