UEZ RAMIREZ, Miguel. Feeding interactions between the deer, Odocoileus virginianus (Mammalia: Cervidae) and four species of birds in Costa Rica. Cuadernos de Investigación UNED [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.2, pp.601-605. ISSN 1659-4266.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/urj.v12vi2.3119.

Introduction: Mammalian-bird interactions are poorly known in the tropics. Methods: To analyze the inteactions between White-tailed Deer and birds I noted and photographed interactions in the tropical humid forest of Curú, Costa Rica, between July 2005 and October 2019. Results: The most common interaction was with the Groove-billed Ani (82 % of all observations), followed by the White-throated Magpie-Jay (10%), Crested Caracara (5%) and Yellow-headed Caracara (3%). Conclusion: Although some of these interrelationships had already been reported in other locations, these results are new for Costa Rica.
