The Mojave Desert is one of four distinct deserts in North America.
It is also the driest, receiving less precipitation than the Sonoran,
Chihuahuan and Great Basin Deserts. Still, well over 300 species of
birds spend part of their annual life cycle migrating through, breeding,
or overwintering in the Mojave Desert.
Bird
diversity changes across the seasons as well as the plant communities,
and plant communities are heavily dictated by elevation. In this
webinar, we will look at bird diversity and behavior across the seasons
and elevations. Along with broad views we will zoom in to highlight
examples of adaptations of many of our birds. You will leave the webinar
with a better understanding of when and where to look for by examining
what influences their behaviors throughout the year.
