Yellow-billed cuckoos were once common throughout North America, but their populations have declined significantly in recent decades due to habitat loss and fragmentation. The birds rely on large tracts of forest for nesting and foraging, and as these forests have been cleared or fragmented, the cuckoos have lost their habitat. Climate change is also a threat to yellow-billed cuckoos, as it is causing their breeding grounds to shift northward.
