Breeding Biology of Red-winged Blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) in Stormwater Retention Ponds on the College at Brockport Campus
… Blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) often breed in stormwater retention ponds. I studied the breeding biology of the species in seven small retention ponds at the College at Brockport, to evaluate their breeding success in a created habitat relative to data from studies in natural habitats. I also …
