I conducted this research in collaboration with Dr. Ruth Bennett and the Smithsonian Bird Friendly Project. I was fortunate to be working closely with Katherine Araúz Ponce who welcomed me to her field sites and project.

I was also lucky to get to work this last season with Donovan Pitti, Pedro L. Castillo-Caballero, Liliam Concepción, and Steven Perez.
