Abstract
The hypothesis that sheltered nesting in small altricial birds primarily is found in (1) resident birds (because of temporal priority) and (2) migrants in an exposed foraging behaviour (because of nest-predation risk), seems to be robust against Greenwood''s detailed statistical treatment. The predicted pattern seems to hold also when repeating the analysis for the Swedish avifauna at the family level, and for the Canadian avifauna at both species and family levels.
