Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to "locate nests of Painted Buntings during two breeding seasons via nest searching on study courses." Describes the experiment, stating that "most nests were located during incubation. The best cue for nest presence was behavior of adult birds around the nest, although capturing brief windows of adult activity near nests over the study area was difficult."

USGA Summary Points:Only 18 Painted Bunting nests were lcoated in two breeding seasons; nests were difficult to locate and well-hidden. Nests were located in a variety of plant types/trees/habitat structure ranging from low, dense scrub to moss nests in upper reaches of mature oaks. Nest failures were common and occurred during both incubation and chick-rearing. Brown-headed Cowbirds, a nest parasite of songbirds, were common on golf courses and cowbird eggs and chicks were frequently identified in nests of Painted Bunting. A new research focus for 2010 will use surverys from multiple golf courses to determine landscape- and patch-scale habitat variables associated with Painted Bunting occurrence.
