Résumé :	Intra-seasonal changes in depredation influence nest survival, but this may be mediated by the foraging behavior of predators or seasonal variability in habitat features. Intra-seasonal differences in factors influencing daily nest survival rates of Black Terns (Chlidonias niger) were studied in southern Ontario, Canada, during MayAugust 2015 and 2016. Survival of early and late-nesting individuals in relation to nest-specific temporal and spatial characteristics was investigated, including nest habitat change over the nesting cycle. The daily nest survival rate for early nesters (n = 112) declined with increasing nest age (beta = -14.97; P =
