Abstract

A nesting colony of Tricolored Munia, Lonchura malacca (Linnaeus, 1766), is reported here, located in an agroecosystem of Mayabeque, Cuba. The nesting area was located in a sugarcane farm two kilometers east of the town of Quivicán. Nine nests were found, and one of them had eggs and hatchling; four nests had only fresh eggs. Here we characterize the nests and describe the contents.
