Abstract
A combination of trapping and foot surveys was used
to assess the breeding status of birds in unlogged and
logged sites in the tropical rain forest of Kibale National
Park, Uganda. Breeding of forest edge and gap species
was greatly enhanced by logging, whereas crevice and
hole nesting specialist breeders were adversely a¡ected.
Egg-laying periods corresponded to higher rainfall
regimes at the nearby ¢eld station. The relevance of
these ¢ndings to bird conservation is discussed.
