Abstract

The purposes of this paper are 1) to determine the severity of the impact of the high frequency of cowbird nest parasitism on Dickcissel productivity, 2) analyze the incidence and intensity of parasitism as a function of habitat and the density of host nests, and 3) to assess the productivity of cowbirds in Dickcissel nests
