Tawny-bellied Seedeaters and 10 nests of Rusty-collared Seedeaters. We recorded the gender of the individual that carried nest material during 3-4 consecutive trips for each nest (~15-25 min of observation/nest). We video-recorded nest activity using a Sony Hi8 CCD CCD in full charge-coupled device Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device. video camera placed 1.
