Yellow-billed cuckoo gains habitat protections in New Mexico, other states in Western U.S. Adrian Hedden, Carlsbad Current-Argus
A 15-mile stretch of the Rio Grande in New Mexico was excluded from habitat protections for the western yellow-billed cuckoo to the chagrin of environmentalists.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) announced April 21 it had designated 300,000 acres in New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Texas and Utah as protected habitat for the imperiled bird that dwells along riverbeds throughout the West.
The move marked a decline in the designated habitat for the cuckoo in a rule issued in 2014 that set aside about half a million acres but was revised last year.
