Conejo Open Space Bird Study

COSF recently donated $2,500 to COSCA to help fund a bird monitoring program COSCA initiated this year.  COSF has also committed up to $2,000 each year for 2019 and 2020.  The monitoring will be conducted by the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology (WFVZ) and will provide valuable scientific information regarding baseline population, distribution, and density data for birds breeding in (and on migration to) these locations. WFVZ will track resident and migrating passerine bird species, some non-passerine species, Federally- and State-listed species, and species that are candidates for listing. The monitoring data will also provide information on locations and occurrences of species of special concern, trends in all breeding species’ densities, and inform management activities.
