FIG. 3. Latency (time in seconds an adult spent in returning to the nest after we placed the camera), frequency (number 
of visiis/hr). and nest attentiveness (percentage of time in the nest during each penod). All data are presented mean _ . 
conduct our study in a tropical environment, but 
life-history traits of the Creamy-bellied Thrush 
are similar to tropical birds. Future research on the 
breeding biology of southern temperate thrushes 
may offer new understanding of the evolution of 
life-history traits.
