Factors Influencing Long-term Reproductive Success and Fitness of Ovenbirds
Birds likely have evolved behavioral adaptations that allow them to recognize suitable habitats to improve their chances of reproducing, and past studies indicate that reproductive failure may encourage dispersal. We investigated habitat selection patterns of 132 uniquely color-banded male Ovenbird at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in eastern Pennsylvania to determine if territory quality could be estimated reliably using measures of occupancy.
