NEST SITE SELECTION AND NESTING SUCCESS OF THE RED-EYED VIREO IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA

We compared nest placement and characteristics of nesting habitat used by Red-eyed Vireos (Vireo olivaceous) in deciduous forests of central Pennsylvania during the breeding seasons of 1998 and 1999. Nest patches versus random patches (0.04-ha circular plots centered on nests or random points, respe...

Zusammenfassung:We compared nest placement and characteristics of nesting habitat used by Red-eyed Vireos (Vireo olivaceous) in deciduous forests of central Pennsylvania during the breeding seasons of 1998 and 1999. Nest patches versus random patches (0.04-ha circular plots centered on nests or random points, respectively) and successful versus unsuccessful nest patches were compared. Vireos selected nest patches in a nonrandom fashion with respect to vegetative characteristics at two strata: canopy level and ground/shrub level (
