In fact, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last fall listed the bird as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

Once again, the ESA has abused its tyrannical power. The "western" yellow-billed cuckoo is simply a population segment of the entire complex known as the yellow-billed cuckoo. And it is NOT endangered in any way!

There's another thread about this very abuse of the ESA upthread about the wolf. I pinged you to it earlier.

Sidenote: I happen to know some people who have worked for Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. Don't think I know this Beason guy though.

Nice kitty! :>} Probably caused by glow-bull warming/change/discombobulation. It’s so freakin’ hot down around the mile “high” city this time of year. Where on the list of “Never Been ‘Recorded’ Before” does this mind boggling change show up? We have a very limited frame of “recorded” history based on they hundreds of thousands of years of earth’s past. Guess that makes humans pretty arrogant/stupid to think they/we know what’s goin’ on.

Just another government attempted , private property, land grab that would close down ranching, farming, logging, hunting, energy production, and...

USF&W and pals must be angry at this inconvenient truth.

Unfortunately, he said, it’s tough to find funding through the Fish and Wildlife Service for such studies for listed species.

Once it's listed why spend the money to find out that it's common? That would cut off the funding for "protection."

For a bureaucrat, failure is job security.

They’re not seen here, at much higher than 8,000 feet. Have seen more birds this winter, though, with temps for this location being roughly thirty degrees higher than usual for this time of year (part of the warm pattern that stretches to the West coast).
