How Tropicbirds Behave at Sea
28 fledged per nest in the native habitat, but only 1.0 per nest in the wheatgrass, Lloyd and Martin reported in 2005 (Condor 107:363–374).

The odds of a nest surviving a given day were 17 percent higher in the native-prairie patches than in the wheatgrass plots. Nestlings in the native...
