From June 4-7 Audubon California sponsored a volunteer Yellow-billed Magpie survey to help support the conservation of this dynamic species.  A total of 3,607 birds were counted in 22 counties by over 230 observers;  the most birds were counted in Sacramento, Yolo, and San Luis Obispo counties. In this second annual eBird survey, we doubled the number of participants and the number of birds counted!  For a full report, go to Audubon’s website.  You can also view an interactive map and data in eBird here.
