Yellow-billed Cuckoo Inventory at Petrified Forest National Park 2023 - Open Format Dataset

Description

Petrified Forest National Park is planning on removing invasive vegetation and restoring native plants along the Rio Puerco. Prior to removal, we conducted surveys for the federally Threatened Yellow-billed Cuckoo, following established survey protocols. Over the course of four surveys, we encountered two Yellow-billed cuckoos in each of two survey periods (four total detections, though possibly representing fewer than four birds). We did not detect any evidence of breeding behavior. We recommend continued monitoring for this species in the park, and proceeding with riparian restoration in accordance with methods that avoid negative impacts to Yellow-billed Cuckoos.
