Median (minimum–maximum) hematology values for House Sparrows sampled from the jugular vein promptly following capture by mist net and banding (n=5, except for PCV where n=18; median 10 min, range 6–22 min after contacting mist net), or sampled following a delay (n=14, except for PCV where n=18; median 54 min, range 50–69 min). Wilcoxon rank sums tests, no significant differences remain following Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.
