| Summary: | 10-m canopy layer. Wood Thrushes built nests in the dense 50.0% in 1994. Nest predation was examined in relation to 7.1% in 1994. Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) was 2.7% in 1993 and categories of edge, except fields. A significant number of densities were significantly greater for nest sites in the 7- despite the availability of taller overstory trees. Percent distance from plantations, clearcuts, fields, and roads. during 1993-1994 at the Sam Houston National Forest in San foliage at the upper understory (2-4 m) and midstory (6-10 m) for nest sites. Nest sites had significantly greater mean habitats on their reproductive success. I conducted my study hardwoods in the 5-15-cm category was significantly higher in 1994. Percent of nests predated was 67.6% in 1993 and In this study, I (1) describe habitat features important to Jacinto County, Texas. I found 41 nests during 1993 and 14 more frequently predated. Percent of nests parasitized by More nests were predated than were successful in all nest was located from an edge and the height of the nest. Nests built > 6 m in height near clearcuts appeared to be nests during 1994. Vegetative measurements collected at nest observed a significant interaction between the distance a of nests which fledged young was 27.00-o in 1993 and 50.0'-. percent canopy closure than random sites. Mean foliage sites were compared to random sites. The proportion of successful nests were built > 100 m from plantations.
