AbstractAbstract: Golden Swallows (Tachycineta euchrysea) have recently been observed nesting on or near the ground. In May 2004 I observed an introduced Indian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) enter a recently depredated Golden Swallow nest cavity located 2 m above the ground in the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic. Deforestation of high elevation pine forests may force the Golden Swallow to nest in sub-optimal habitat where it is more vulnerable to mongoose predation.es
AbstractResumen: Depredación de un nido de la Golondrina Verde (Tachycineta euchrysea) por una Mangosta (Herpestes javanicus) en la Sierra de Bahoruco, República Dominicana= Las golondrinas doradas (Tachycineta euchrysea) han sido observadas recientemente nidificando en o cerca del suelo. En mayo del 2004 observé una mangosta introducida (Herpestes javanicus) entrando a una cavidad de nidificación de Golondrina Dorada recientemente depredada, que estaba localizada a una altura de 2 m en la Sierra de Bahoruco, República Dominicana. La deforestación de los pinares ubicados a grandes alturas pueden forzar a la Golondrina Dorada a nidificar en hábitat sub-óptimos donde es más vulnerable a la depredación por mangostas.es
AbstractRésumé: Prédation d’un nid d’ Hirondelle dorée (Tachycineta euchrysea) par la Petite Mangouste indienne (Herpestes javanicus) à la Sierra de Bahoruco, République Dominicaine- Des Hirondelles dorées (Tachycineta euchrysea) ont été observées récemment nichant au sol ou à proximité. J’ai observé en mai 2004 une Petite Mangouste indienne (Herpestes javanicus), espèce introduite, pénétrant une cavité de nidification récemment prédatée d’Hirondelle dorée située 2 m au dessus du sol dans la Sierra de Bahoruco, République Dominicaine. La déforestation de la forêt d’altitude de pins pourrait obliger l’Hirondelle Dorée à nicher dans un habitat sub-optimal ou elle devient plus vulnérable à la prédation par la mangouste.es
