It was found at the beginning of the nest studies that freshly made paths, trampled grass and weeds, film wrappings, nest markers and other disturbances in the immediate vicinity of a nest were very likely to attract predators. Two blue-winged teal nests (0.8%) were known to have been abandoned because of poor study technique during the early stages of work.
