Nesting ecology of Townsend's warblers in relation to habitat characteristics in a mature boreal forest Nesting ecology of Townsend's warblers in relation to habitat characteristics in a mature boreal forest
We investigated the nesting ecology of Townsend's Warblers (Dendroica townsendi) from 1993-1995 in an unfragmented boreal forest along the lower slopes of the Chugach Mountains in southcentral Alaska. We examined habitat characteristics of nest sites in relation to factors influencing reproductive success. Almost all territory-holding males (98%, n = 40) were successful in acquiring...
