Foraging ecology of two bark foraging passerine birds in an old-growth temperate forest
Original language description
This study deals with the foraging ecology of two bark foraging birds Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) and Eurasian Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) in an old-growth temperate montane forest (Mala Fatra Mts., Western Carpathians, Slovakia). Tree species preferences and foraging behaviour were studied during four breeding periods. Both species showed similar annual dynamics in tree species preference; Beech (Fagus sylvatica) was avoided whereas Norway Spruce (Picea abies) and Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) werepreferred. Both bird species showed clear year-to-year variation in foraging patterns on Beech, but not for other tree species. In all three tree species the trunk itself and the larger branches were the most preferred foraging substrates. The Treecreeper over-utilized the trunks of Beech, Spruce and Fir (Abies alba) but no such differences between Treecreeper and Nuthatch were found for either Sycamore or snags. Overall, Nuthatch tends to be a broad-niched forager employing a greater v
