Populations of grassland birds are declining in the Northeast due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Fragmentation of grasslands can contribute to lower breeding success of grassland birds by altering local predator communities. Using miniature video cameras, National Historical Park in southeastern Pennsylvania. Estimated nest-success probability for Sturnella magna n = 7) and similar to estimates from the Midwest, but slightly lower than other studies in the Northeast. Nest success for Spizella pusilla (Field Sparrow; 0.77 [0.31-0.98, n = 8]) and Agelaius phoeniceus n = 10]) was higher than estimatesThe primary predator was Odocoileus virginianus (White-tailed Deer; 38% of nest predation events) followed by Vulpes vulpes (Red Fox; 25%); Procyon lotor (Raccoon; 13%), and a probable Mustela sp. (weasel; 13%). I never detected nest predation by small mammals or snakes, which are important nest predators in the Midwest. The impact of White-tailed fully understand local predator-prey community dynamics.
