Symposium held at the Joint meeting of the American Ornithologists’ Union, the Cooper Ornithological Society, and Society of the Canadian Ornithologists, San Diego, California. The objective of the symposium is to be a venue for Yellow-billed Cuckoo researchers throughout the western United States to share their research and identify collaboration opportunities. Yellow-billed Cuckoo research is occurring throughout Arizona, California, New Mexico and Colorado by investigators with the US Geological Survey, Southern Sierra Research Station, Chico State University, Point Reyes Bird Observatory, US Fish and Wildlife Service and Northern Arizona University. Researchers are collectively addressing many pressing habitat, demographic and behavioral issues of relevance to managing Yellow-billed Cuckoos and ensuring long-term survival of ecologically functional populations. The symposium will enable us an unprecedented opportunity to collaborate and address questions that build upon the conservation concerns of this species. Potential results include seminal scientific papers and widely application spatially-explicit models of habitat use and demography. Co-Chairs: Matt Johnson and Hira Walker
