Abstract

During spring 2008, 12 empty nests built by verdins (Auriparus flaviceps) were collected from xerophytic scrubland in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Percentages of materials used to build nests (based on mass) were estimated, and the species of trees or shrubs with nests were determined. Trees and shrubs within a 5-m radius of the plant with a nest were identified. Material used by verdin for nests was primarily twigs of cape wild-plum (Cyrtocarpa edulis; average 97.6%), an endemic of Baja California Sur.
