Table 2. Comparisons of foraging variables between second-year (SY) and after-second-year (ASY) Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi) adults, with chi-square and t-test results.

Anthropogenic habitat was defined as human-modified areas with buildings nearby, such as residential or agricultural areas. Non-anthropogenic areas included coppice (broad-leaf dry forest) and pine forest.
