Title: | Breeding of the Eastern Yellow Robin in an Exotic Pine Plantation at Armidale, New South Wales | Contributor(s): | Debus, Stephen JS (author); Boland, Ben (author); Koboroff, Adam (author) | Publication Date: | 2004 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/3562 | Abstract: | Eastern Yellow Robin 'Eopsaltria australis' nests were observed in an exotic Monterey Pine 'Pinus radiata' plantation near Armidale, New South Wales, for 5.25 hours over seven 45-minute sessions during the incubation period in spring 2002 (five nests of three groups). The Robins nested at 2-21 m above ground (mean 12 m) in exotic conifers, constructing nests of exotic materials. Males fed incubating females 2.9 times/h. and females left the nest (apparently to forage) at the rate of 2.3 forays/h. Nest success was 20% with one brood of two fledging from five attempts. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Field Ornithology, 21(4), p. 166-169 | Publisher: | Bird Observers' Club of Australia | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1448-0107 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060208 Terrestrial Ecology | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 960806 Forest and Woodlands Flora, Fauna and Biodiversity | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.birdobservers.org.au/Publications_AFO.asp |
