WELCOME TO THE WESTERN YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO WORKING GROUP

Promoting Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo Science, Conservation, Recovery, and Partnership

Yellow-billed Cuckoo populations in the Western United States have declined to the point where they are federally Threatened under the US Endangered Species Act and likely to become Endangered unless threats to the species —such as severe loss, degradation, and fragmentation of its required riparian habitats — are ameliorated by comprehensive and cooperative efforts

Our mission is to bring diverse partners together to promote coordinated scientific research and monitoring that 1) contribute to the understanding of the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo population distribution, status, trends, and threats, and 2) lead to effective recovery actions
