Major site changesStudy site established in 1992. We attached 48 cm diameter aluminum pizza pans below each nest box to help prevent the high rates of predation that occurred in 2000, 2001, 2006, 2007, and 2012 from raccoons (Procyon lotor) and feral cats (Felis catus). There was no evidence of predation at nest boxes between 2013 and 2018
