Cameras Identify White-tailed Deer Depredating Northern Bobwhite Nests

Abstract

Odocoileus virginianus (White-tailed Deer) were videotaped depredating two Colinus virginianus (Northern Bobwhite) nests during a nest-predator study in south Georgia in 2002 and 2003. Deer ate eggs from the nests, leading to the failure of one of the two nests.
