[SBB] Breeding TRBL in SCC??

["Troy Rahmig" <[[email protected]]>]

Good morning,

 

The tricolored blackbird is a species that is addressed in the forth coming Santa Clara Valley Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Communities Conservation Plan. There are few historical accounts of breeding colonies within Santa Clara County and even fewer that have been recently documented. In order to construct the best conservation strategy for this species under this Plan we need to protect known breeding colonies and then turn our attention to sites that can be restored or enhanced. In order to do that we need to know where they are.

 

Though I know of at least one colony that was active in the county last year, I'm anxious to know of others that have gone undocumented. Further, I monitor this listserve religiously so any reports of the species that show up here are accounted for, and I apprecitate that. I'm interested in noting whether historical colonies are still occupied or suitable to support colonies so information like that is helpful too. If you feel uncomfortable posting the whereabouts of colonies during the breeding season, due to the sensitivity of the species, feel free to contact me directly. Or wait until the breeding season has finished.

 

Thanks for your help!
