DuVal, E.H. 2005 Journal Isla Boca Brava, Chiriqui, Panama 2 Apr [cut] (4) Nest veg - What data do I actually need to collect from failed or fledged nests? And why? Potential questions that could be addressed are: how do physical & habitat characteristics associated with nests affect nest success? Hypothesis: nest success is primarily determined by ? experience. Confounding factor: ?? nest in the same area repeatedly. If I , can ID anything related to nest success, I could test w/ placement of artificial nests. Eg. height - place 3 nests in same area high and low, replicate. What would experienced ?? do that naive ones do not? # visits to nest? Nest visibility? How to set those things? Try analyzing nest data from 2002 * organize nest veg accordingly. (5) Figure out how to transfer video from mini-DV to the computer.
