Median (minimum–maximum) venous blood gas and lactate values for male Boat-tailed Grackles sampled promptly following capture by mist net and banding, from the jugular vein (n=10, except for lactate where n=9; median 9 min, range 6–17 min after contacting mist net) or from the basilic vein (n=10; median 10 min, range 7–22 min). Wilcoxon rank sums tests; no significant differences remain for any analyte following Bonferroni correction for multiple simultaneous inferences. TC = temperature corrected to 41 C.
