Below are links to PDF versions of reports and journal articles dealing with the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, including many agency reports and other unpublished products that can be difficult to find. All of these can be viewed and/or printed via Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you have trouble viewing these files, check (a) that Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader is installed on your computer (see link below); and (b) the options settings of your browser allow PDF viewing. Depending on the fonts installed on your desktop system, some report fonts (especially titles and headings) may not display well on your monitor; generally, your computer will substitute other fonts when you print the document. Also, small formatting differences can occur when a document is converted to PDF formats, so page numbers and graphics for some (usually larger) reports may vary from the original. The publications and reports are grouped by year of release, in title alphabetical order. New items are highlighted by the following arrow.
