We examined patterns of avian host use by vectors of EEEV in Alabama from 2001 to 2009 using blood-meal analysis of field-collected mosquitoes and avian abundance surveys. The northern cardinal (\n                    <jats:italic>Cardinalis cardinalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) was the only preferred host (fed on significantly more than expected based on abundance) of\n                    <jats:italic>Culiseta melanura<\/jats:italic>\n                    , the enzootic vector of EEEV.
