Executive Summary
We surveyed for Least Bell’s Vireos (Vireo bellii pusillus; vireo) and Southwestern Willow Flycatchers (Empidonax traillii extimus; flycatcher) at the San Antonio Dam near Upland, California, in 2021. Four vireo surveys were conducted between April 16 and July 15, 2021, and three flycatcher surveys were conducted between May 27 and July 15, 2021.
We detected one transient vireo and one transient flycatcher. No territorial vireos or flycatchers were observed. The vireo was found in riparian scrub habitat dominated by native mule fat (Baccharis salicifolia), whereas the flycatcher was using habitat dominated by non-native tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima).
