Abstract:
This data set contains the nesting sites of an urban Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix; TSN 179740; AVIBASE ID F13D8350405F3C10) population in Debrecen, Hungary. The dataset reports the active/occupied nests in our research area from 2006 to 2011. For each active nest (n=156), we described the geo-referenced location (latitude and longitude in decimal degrees; geographic datum of WGS84), habitat (single tree, tree row, park, forest patch) and also described the tree species and height of tree and nest. Nests were found on 18 tree species (Quercus robur, Celtis occidentalis,Pinus silvestris, Sophora japonica, Pinus nigra,Robinia pseudoacacia, Populus sp.,Platanus hybrida, Ulmus pumila celer, Acer saccharinum,Gleditsia triachanthos, Maclura pomifera, Quercus rubra, Tilia tomentosa, Acer platanoides, Juglans regia,Juglans nigra,Picea abies). The dataset consist of an Open Office worksheet (MS Excel compatible), is 3KB in size, and is available upon request. The data forms the basis for a PhD thesis and publications are coming forward. Further details are available from the authors.
Purpose:
We would like to enrich the knowledge of urban Hooded Crow's nesting biology for the general public. In the near future we are planning to publish these research data, and to advance knowledge about Hooded Crows.

Methodology_Description:
We used own research protocol. In every year 2006 til 2011 we were surveying all of our research areas from beginning of March to end of May. Some volunteers helped our work but in every case of active nests the data collector who did the measurements was the same person (Laszlo Koever).
