Not only is the rancher kept off these public lands, but everyone his. I and my crew HAD bird surveys in the Gold Butte area (including the Virgin River area all the way to Overton) but access has been denied by the Feds. This is a huge area of public lands: and NO ONE is allowed on it now!

Willow flycatchers?

Willow flycatchers?

We record all birds present (and their breeding status) along the Lower Colorado River, including tributaries such as the Virgin River. But we are to be "extra" vigilant regarding certain "focal" species, which definitely does include the southwestern race (subspecies) of the willow flycatcher (conveniently known as the southwestern willow flycatcher).

Some other focal species include Bell' vireo, summer tanager, Gila woodpecker, gilded flicker, and the southwestern race of the yellow warbler, I believe.
