Blue-tailed Bee-eaters (Merops philipinnus) are summer migrant to Kinmen Island. They breed from May to August. I cleaned the vegetation and old nest holes on the slope of used breeding colonies to test if these two are important factors for bee-eaters to abandon old colony. I also evaluated the effects of cleaning (treatment) on bee-eaters’ breeding performance comparing with no cleaning (control). |
