Bird species found in more xeric oak-hickory forests, like the great crested flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus) and yellow-billed cuckoo (
Coccyzus americanus), also fell within the larger 'transitional' bird community on the DCA graph.

Changes in the river corridor and loss of riparian habitat also have reduced populations of the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) and a candidate for listing, the western yellow-billed cuckoo (
Coccyzus americanus occidentalis).
Bird species such as the American robin (Turdus migratorius), Bachman's sparrow (Aimophila aestivalis), common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas), Eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis), and Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) were detected only in treated stands, while Acadian flycatcher (Empidonax virescens), wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), yellow-billed cuckoo (
Coccyzus americanus), and yellow-throated vireo (Vireo flavifrons) were detected only in untreated stands.
In particular cases, the black-billed cuckoo (
Coccyzus erythrophthalmus) does sing at night, and all night long during the summer.
- As Banks and Hole (1991) pointed out, early taxonomic work on Caribbean birds "was based mainly on small samples from island populations in an age when supposed isolation led to the expectation of differentiation, and when individual variation within populations was not taken into account." On closer examination, they found little morphological support for the many named subspecies of the mangrove cuckoo (
Coccyzus minor) in the West Indies and suggested that the species has been highly vagile within the archipelago, its movement aided by hurricanes and storms.
Ademas, durante el estudio se registro una nueva especie para el area,
Coccyzus melacoryphus (Quinonez & Tello 2011).
The western yellow-billed cuckoo (
Coccyzus americanus occidentalis) is a riparian obligate subspecies with declining populations in the western United States.
Estas incluyen al canario de mangle (Dendroica petechia), el chicuaco antillano (Butorides virescens), el chicuaco (Nyctanassa violacea), el cuclillo de mangle (
Coccyzus minor), entre otras especies.
