Human interference is thought to have caused the desertion of three nests containing one egg each and five with complete clutches. Sixteen inactive deserted nests or nest forms of five species with one to nine eggs each were found, suggesting that females not uncommonly abandon uncompleted nests without human interference. Six nests were deserted for unknown reasons. Human intrusion is not believed to have increased nest vulnerability to striped skunks (Mephitis).
