CURRENT BREEDING STATUS OF THE YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD IN CALIFORNIA

Abstract

While surveying the breeding distribution and abundance of Tricolored Blackbirds (Agelaius tricolor) in California during the spring of 1971, we also recorded observations on Yellow-headed Blackbirds (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus). These observations are reported here and compared with published information on the historical breeding status of Yellow-headed Blackbirds in California.
