• Behaviour of female common cuckoos, Cuculus canorus, in the vicinity of host nests before and during egg laying: a radiotelemetry study (2002, methodology): “…the activity of hosts during nest building to locate nests is supported by data both for the cuckoo (Chance 1922, 1940; Jourdain 1925; Gärtner 1981, 1982; Wyllie 1981; Teuschl et al. 1998) and for the brown-headed cowbird (Clotfelter 1998; Banks & Martin 2001; see also Robinson & Robinson 2001).”
• The wages of violence: mobbing by mockingbirds as a frontline defence against brood-parasitic cowbirds (2013, background): “Also, most cowbirds visiting nests during the host’s laying period will be returning to nests they had discovered during the nest construction phase (Fraga 1985; Wiley 1988; Kattan 1997; Banks & Martin 2001).”
