Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Reclassifying Least Bell's Vireo From Endangered To Threatened  
Abstract: We are proposing to reclassify the least bell's vireo, a small migratory songbird that occurs in southwestern California and northwestern Baja California, Mexico, from endangered to threatened. A completed 5-year review indicates that recovery actions have contributed substantially to preserving this species and ameliorating some threats, but ongoing actions to control cowbird nest parasitism and exotic weed control in riparian habitat are still needed.
