Numerous methods exist to quantify vector feeding preferences; however, controlled host choice experiments are generally an underutilized approach. In this report, we present results from controlled vector host choice experiments using\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Culex quinquefasciatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    Say (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes and wild avian hosts identified as important contributors to West Nile virus (WNv) transmission in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. In each experiment, we allowed lab-reared\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">F<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Cx. quinquefasciatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    to feed freely overnight on two avian individuals of a different species (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">i.e.<\/jats:italic>\n                    , northern cardinals, American robins, blue jays, brown thrashers, and gray catbirds). We then estimated WNv transmission potential using vectorial capacity and\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n                    . We found that mosquito blood feeding success was extremely variable among experimental replicates and that patterns of host choice only occasionally aggregated to a particular bird species. Vectorial capacity was highest for American robins and blue jays due to these species' higher reservoir competence for WNv and greater probabilities of mosquito selection of these species. Despite species-specific differences in vectorial capacity, total community capacity was similar among species pairs.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n                    estimates were qualitatively similar to capacity, and\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n                    was below and above unity across species pairs.
