Warbler Guy, How do I know if my California bird sightings are rare ones? Are species of special concern in a book?

Posted on by

Sherry, feel free to see:

Here, you’ll see the publication whose cover is shown below. 


It’s an excellent resource to read analysis of the status of California’s at-risk birds using the latest data to describe current populations, ranges, and threats. 

Species highlighted in this 450-page book include seabirds, raptors, shorebirds, waterfowl, and perching birds, all of which are represented on a Bird Species of Special Concern list.

This list also notes California habitats with high numbers of special concern bird species, including wetlands, scrublands, grasslands, and riparian forests.

I hope this information helps.

Regards, Daniel
