Effects of nest concealment on nest predation and cowbird parasitism, flight initiation distance and female stress levels in the Wood Thrush
Temperate zone songbirds in North America can experience high levels of nest predation and Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) parasitism, which may contribute to population declines, and an important question is whether nesting females can mitigate these threats through greater nest concealment....
