AbstractActive nests of Gyps bengalensis White-rumped Vulture depends on elevation and aspects for nest site selection, while feeding station plays a significant role for determining the position of the nesting sites.This study attempted to record nest count for the breeding period 2018, identify key variables for the nest site selection and understand the role of feeding station in the nest site selection. Nest counts were conducted during the breeding period, each nest was categorized into active and inactive nest based on assesment of different components. Simultaneously, different variables (tree height, tree species, elevation and aspect) were recorded for each nest. Aerial distance was used to determine the role of feeding station for selecting the nesting sites. From the 24 nesting sites, 352 active nests were recorded, and a significant Pearson’s correlation for elevation and aspect were drawn. We found, vulture prefer single tree species for nesting. We also found that, 71% (n = 17) nesting sites located within radial distance of 20 km of the feeding station. High congregration of active nests within short radial distance from feeding station, signify the positive impact of management of feeding station by the wildlife wing of Forest department since 2008, for the ex-situ conservation of critically endangered Gyps bengalensis White-rumped Vulture

Site Characteristics

Vegetation communities in the subarctic are at risk of change due to climate-driven tree and shrub encroachment. Vegetation change may lead to unsuitable habitat for arctic-breeding birds, many of whom are declining. Although many possible factors are contributing to their decline, loss of breeding habitat could be a major contributor. We examined nest-site selection in Dunlin (Calidris alpina hudsonia (Todd, 1953)), a shorebird that nests in open fen habitats in the Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, region. Our objective was to determine whether this species avoids treed habitats and the possible fitness consequences for this. We examined the role of vegetative horizontal and vertical concealments on nest-site selection and nest fate. Dunlin selected nest sites with lower densities of trees than present at unused sites (40 m radius). Both horizontal and vertical concealments were significantly greater at nests than at unused sites, and horizontal concealment was greatest in the north. No measure of tree density or height, or concealment, significantly predicted nest fate. Although Dunlin appear to select nest sites that may minimize exposure to northerly winds and that may provide cover against potential predators, the current nest-site characteristics are not reinforced by contemporary selection.
