File List: adult_cort_data_clean.csv - Baseline corticosterone levels of adult Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) that were bled under 3 min of capture. nestling_body_conditions.csv - Measurements of Eastern Bluebird nestling body morphometrics at 5, 11, and 14 days after hatching. These measurements were used to calculate body condition. nestling_cort_data_clean.csv - Baseline corticosterone levels of nestling Eastern Bluebirds that were bled under 3 min of capture. nestling_telomere_data_clean.csv - Telomere lengths of nestling Eastern Bluebirds. rfid_visits_clean.csv - Summary of radio frequency identification (RFID) nest box visitation reads. RFID reads were calculated for each individual hour of each day of the brood cycle due to low battery levels causing reader failures. 2. Relationship between files, if important: 3.
