Abstract
Predation of artificial nests in pine barrens savanna patches in northwestern Wisconsin was correlated significantly with proximity to edge (P = 0.02). Densities of blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata) and brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) were significantly greater along edge transects than savanna interior transects (P < 0.001 and P = 0.001). Land management practices in the pine barrens may influence edge-related nest loss.
