Abstract
We confirmed a new nest predator for the Mexican endemic and endangered Sierra Madre Sparrow (Xenospiza baileyi). We found a Mexican dusky rattlesnake (Crotalus triseriatus) preying on three 6-day-old nestlings while their parents and a neighboring sparrow showed active defensive behavior. We also identified C. triseriatus as a new bird nest predator.
