IN ADDITION TO ONGOING ECOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL MONITORING EFFORTS, 2016 WAS A YEAR IN WHICH NCC PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN REGIONAL COORDINATION AND ORANGE COUNTY IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CALIFORNIA GNATCATCHER MONITORING PROGRAM. THIS GNATCATCHER MONITORING PROGRAM WAS A FIVE COUNTY MONITORING EFFORT - THE FIRST OF ITS KIND ACROSS THE RANGE OF THE SPECIES.NCC ALSO INITIATED A COMPREHENSIVE RESERVE-WIDE MONITORING EFFORT TO ASSESS THE DISTRIBUTION AND POPULATION STATUS FOR THE WESTERN SPADEFOOT TOAD-ONE OF THE IDENTIFIED SPECIES FOR WHICH THE RESERVE WAS ESTABLISHED.

COWBIRDS ARE BROOD PARASITES. FEMALE COWBIRDS LAY THEIR EGGS IN THE NEST OF OTHER NATIVE BIRDS. THE NEST-OWNING SPECIES THEN UNKNOWINGLY RAISE THE COWBIRD CHICK TO MATURITY FREQUENTLY TO THE DETRIMENT OF ITS OWN CLUTCH. IN AREAS WHERE COWBIRD POPULATIONS ARE HIGH, TRAPS ARE USED TO LOWER THEIR NUMBERS AND INCREASE REPRODUCTIVE AND FLEDGLING SUCCESS OF BIRD SPECIES PARASITIZED BY COWBIRDS. A TOTAL OF 25 COWBIRD TRAPS WERE DIPLOID IN 2016 FOR A TOTAL OF NEARLY 2,760 TRAP-DAYS IN AREAS OF THE RESERVE WHERE COWBIRD IMPACTS ON PROTECTED SONGBIRDS ARE HISTORICALLY HIGH. TRAPPING IS CURRENTLY THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO MANAGE COWBIRDS.
