Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nesting habits of various North American birds. The author draws on detailed observations to provide comparative periods of nestling life for many species. Through these comparisons, the author explores the evolution of nidicolous and nidifugous habits in birds, and discusses the factors, including environmental and physiological features, that have influenced their development. The author suggests that a shift from nidifugous to nidicolous habits, and the associated changes in incubation period and altricial development, may be linked to birds nesting in increasingly inaccessible locations such as trees and cliffs.
