Perch proximity correlate with higher rates of Cowbird parasitism of ground nesting Song Sparrows

The reproductive success of avian brood parasites depends, to a great extent, on their ability to locate host nests that are at the appropriate stages of the host laying cycle. Consequently, brood parasites are expected to possess elaborate mechanisms and search modes to locate potential host nests.
