Summary

These data were compiled to investigate the distribution and breeding status of yellow-billed cuckoos (Coccyzus americanus) in southeastern Arizona xeroriparian habitat by comparing the results of standardized call-playback surveys to the results of nest searching efforts in the same sites from 2018 to 2020. The primary purpose of the study associated with these data was to determine and document the occurrence and extent of nesting in these poorly studied xeroriparian habitats. These data represent breeding evidence for yellow-billed cuckoos at 54 documented sites from 2018-2020 and the results of yellow-billed cuckoo surveys collected at 163 sites from 2013-2020 in xeroriparian habitats in southeastern Arizona. These data were collected [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data are to determine and document the occurrence and extent of nesting in the xeroriparian habitats in southeastern Arizona. These data were created to estimate occupancy and breeding status according to an established protocol rubric (Halterman et al. 2015). These data can be used by future researchers for comparison to surveys in similar habitats, and for evaluation of population trends based on future surveys.
