Contopus cooperi (NB) Olive-sided Flycatcher S 161.
The low parasitism levels are consistent with zero-to-low levels others have found in western and eastern wood-pewees (
Contopus virens, Chace et al., 1997; references in Ortega, 1998; Underwood et al., 2004; Swanson and Baker, 2016).
Several species, including Bachman's sparrow (Aimophila aestivalis), northern bobwhite, eastern wood-pewee (
Contopus virens), and indigo bunting respond favorably to RCW management practices such as prescribed burning and hardwood understory reduction (4, 5, 6, 7, 8).
This list of forest songbirds includes, but is not limited to, the following: Eastern Wood Pewee (
Contopus virens), Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mastelina), Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea), Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia), Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocappilus), Kentucky Warbler (Oporornis formosus), Hooded Warbler (Wilsonia citrina, and Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea).
Those present in most years included Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus), Eastern Wood-Pewee (
