Birders from all over the world travel to California’s Central Valley to observe the Yellow-billed Magpie. A species endemic to the open oak savannah of California, it’s bold coloring and gregarious nature make it easy to spot at local birding hotspots such as Ancil Hoffman Park or William B. Pond Recreation Area.
In May 2021, Dan Airola presented Population and Habitat of the Yellow-billed Magpie in Sacramento at the Sacramento Bird Alliance Monthly Meeting. You can watch a video of the presentation here.
