Nesting of the Members of the Corvidae in Poland
Abstract:
Nesting of 7 species of the family Corvidae — Garrulus glandarius, Pica pica, Nucifraga caryocatactes, Corvus monedula, Corvus frugilegus, Corvus corone and Corvus corax — is dealt with. The nest site (height and type of site), material used for building, and the shape and size of nests are discussed for each of these species. A key to their nests has been made. A comparison with the descriptions of nests of other genera of the Corvidae permits the determination of a general scheme of their nest structure and suggests some phylogenetic relationships between particular genera.
