“…In our case, we recorded the largest number of nests in the La Sierrita-Sierra Jaraguay transect, which is characterized by a topographical complex of volcanic origin from the Miocene period, with ample plateaus such as Meseta del Gato, La Misión and El Rincón, among others, all of them falling on ample valleys of alluvial substrate (Pallares et al, 2008). The majority of the photographed nests exhibited a northwest (n = 33) and west (n = 25) orientation, where topographic conditions and foraging sites appear more favorable, a similar pattern as that seen in the western USA (Katzner et al, 2020;Millsarp et al, 2015;Steenhof et al, 2017;Watson, 2010;Wiens et al, 2021) and northwestern Mexico (De León-Girón et al, 2016;Morales-Yañez et al, 2023;Rodríguez-Estrella et al, 2020).…”
