“…First, human activity represents a force that negatively affects the nesting success of several bird species, in particular those that require natural vegetation for establishing nesting sites (Jokimäki and Huhta, 2000;Miller and Hobbs, 2000;Piper and Catterall, 2006;Pescador and Peris, 2007). For example, we recorded people (principally children) destroying nests and killing birds with slingshots in Morelia.…”

“…Chace and Walsh (2006) described some of the emergent patterns of bird community responses to the process of urbanization as follows: (1) a reduction in species richness, (2) an increase in bird biomass, and (3) selection for omnivorous, granivorous, and cavity nesting species. These patterns are the result of processes such as (1) changes in vegetation composition and structure (Emlen 1974;Catterall et al 1989;Melles et al 2003;MacGregor-Fors 2008); (2) fragmentation (Friesen et al 1995;Fernández-Juricic and Jokimäki 2001;Fernández-Juricic 2004); (3) the introduction of exotic species (Mills et al 1989;Khera et al 2009); (4) human activities and human presence (Miller et al 1998;Álvarez and MacGregor-Fors 2009); and (5) the availability of anthropogenic food (Mills et al 1989;Jokimäki and Suhonen 1993;Piper and Catterall 2006).…”

“…Nesting birds in recreational areas may suffer increased nest desertion, decreased hatching success, reduced parental attendance at the nest, increased foraging effort, or increased nest parasitism (Hickman 1990, Burger and Gochfeld 1998, Miller et al 1998. Additionally, there may be an increase in egg and chick predation (the primary cause of nest failure in songbirds; Martin 1993) due to the attraction of mammalian (Bradley and Marzluff 2003, Martin and Joron 2003, Gutzwiller and Riffell 2008 and avian (Gutzwiller et al 2002, Marzluff and Neatherlin 2006, Piper and Catterall 2006 predators. Alternatively, human disturbance of some landscapes may directly deter predators or confound predatory behavior and result in inflated nest success for more tolerant avian species (Sandvik andBarrett 2001, Francis et al 2009).…”
