[SBB] Fwd: Yellow-billed Magpie surveyors needed

[[[email protected]]]

This might be of interest to some of you. I don't know what, if any, indications there are of declines in the central coastal region, but it would be great if local birders could contribute to this effort.

California Partners in Flight is participating in a Yellow-billed Magpie working group. It is generally accepted that Yellow-billed Magpie populations are declining since the arrival of the West Nile virus (WNV) in California in 2004.  To better document and understand magpie population trends, the working group is recommending that censuses at communal roosts should be conducted throughout their range. We need the help of volunteers to collect these important data. A roost survey protocol and datasheet are attached. Both forms will also be posted to the CalPIF website.
