Publisher's Note: Correction to Figure 4 Legend

Posted by PLOS_ONE_Group on 21 Aug 2009 at 21:42 GMT

Weight measurements of surviving birds.
http://plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0006405#pone-0006405-g004

The legends for Figures 3 and 4 were incorrectly switched. The correct legend for Figure 4 should read: "Time spent close to the food sources is given in means±SEM. Significant differences are indicated: * = p<0.05. Dashed bars indicate preference for low energy food."
