An estimate of the heat balance of a nesting hummingbird in a chilling climate
Abstract
Air, nest and body surface temperatures, air velocity, and hemispherical radiation data were used with published values for evaporation and metabolism to estimate the total heat loss of the incubating female when air temperatures were 0–4·6°C.
