Birds feeding on gypsy moths. A field study was conducted to identify the natural predators of the gypsy moth. (Environmental Entomology , June 1995). For one part of the study, 24 black-capped chickadees (common wintering birds) were captured in mist nets and individually caged. Each bird was offered a mass of gypsy moth eggs attached to a piece of bark. Half the birds were offered no other food (no choice), and half were offered a variety of other naturally occurring foods such as spruce and pine seeds (choice). The numbers of birds that did and did not feed on the gypsy moth egg mass are given in the next table and saved in the MOTH file. Analyze the data in the table to determine whether a relationship exists between food choice and feeding or not feeding on gypsy moth eggs. Use α = .10
