“…Parental provisioning at brood-days 4–5 is especially germane, as this is the age at which nestling growth is most rapid, and the amount of food delivered by parents at this age is positively correlated with nestling growth, fledging success and the recruitment of offspring to the breeding population (Bowers et al, 2014; Bowers, Bowden, Sakaluk, & Thompson, 2015). Recordings were made using pocket-sized digital video cameras (Kodak Sport Zx5, Eastman Kodak, Rochester, NY, U.S.A.) positioned about 1.5 m from the nestbox and secured at the end of a 1.5 m length of metal conduit (1.5 cm diameter) using a cell-phone holster (Barnett, Clairardin, Thompson, & Sakaluk, 2011; DeMory, Thompson, & Sakaluk, 2010; Dorset, Sakaluk, & Thompson, 2017; Will, Dorset, Thompson, Sakaluk, & Bowers, 2017).…”
