Effects of Nest-Site Selection on Depredation of Artificial Nests

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1989
We compared depredation of artificial arboreal nests between nests placed at nest sites used by birds in the previous season (actual nests) and those located at random nest sites (random nests) on a ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) management area in central Pennsylvania from May to July 1987.

Nest Site Selection and Nest Depredation of Carolina Chickadees

Journal of the Kentucky Academy of Science, 2016
Nest location is an important factor that influences nestlings’ success. Poor nest location could lead to exposure to predators and to a lack of nearby resources. We examined nest site selection and nest depredation of Carolina chickadees (Poecile carolinensis) from 2011–2015 at a field site with artificial nest boxes.

Nest-Site Selection in the Acorn Woodpecker

The Auk, 1999
Acorn Woodpeckers (Melanerpes formicivorus) at Hastings Reservation in central California prefer to nest in dead limbs in large, dead valley oaks (Quercus lobata) and California sycamores (Platanus racemosa) that are also frequently used as acorn storage trees. Based on 232 nest cavities used over an 18-year period, we tested whether preferred or modal
