This data set is a compilation of data collected by multiple researchers describing nests of 48 bird species from across Konza Prairie. Compiled and edited into consistent format by Emma B. Smith, and included in her Master’s thesis. The goal of this dataset is to compile as much data on bird nests at Konza as possible. This data set includes data from other KNZ datasets CBN01 and PBG05, as well as data contributed by Page Klug, Jim Rivers, John Zimmerman, Bill Jensen, Brett Sandercock, Alice Boyle, Bram Verheijen, Bridget Sousa, Aaron Pearse, Karl Kosciuch, and Scott Hatch. These nests were found by rope dragging, opportunistically during other activities, within nest boxes, and/or via behavioral observations. We described nest contents, and some were monitored via repeated visits. Some data are freely available, and other data are restricted access, at the discretion of each individual contributor.
Methods: These nests were found by rope dragging, opportunistically during other activities, within nest boxes, and/or via behavioral observations. We described nest contents, and some were monitored via repeated visits. This dataset contains data collected by numerous researchers throughout the history of the site, so the individual methods vary. Some data are freely available, and other data are restricted access, at the discretion of each individual contributor.
