Piracy of nesting materials from and by the broadtailed hummingbird
Abstract
In the course of nesting microclimatic studies of the Broad-tailed Hummingbird (Selusphorus platycercus), I observed three cases of intra-or interspecific piracy of nesting materials. These observations were made in the vicinity of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, Gothic, Gunnison County, Colorado, at an elevation of 2920 m, where this is apparently the only breeding trochilid.
