About this book
Birds of Southern California's Deep Canyon by Wesley W. Weathers provides a comprehensive exploration of the avian species inhabiting the unique ecosystems of the Deep Canyon region. Part of the ongoing research conducted at the Philip L. Boyd Deep Canyon Desert Research Center, this book is the fifth in a series of studies that examine the flora and fauna of this remarkable area, which spans the Santa Rosa Mountains and Coachella Valley. The book highlights the region's extraordinary biodiversity, with 217 species of birds recorded to date, representing nearly half of all bird species known to southern California. The Deep Canyon Transect, with its dramatic range in elevation from desert floors to snow-capped peaks, offers diverse habitats that attract a wide variety of bird species throughout the year. Designed for both the casual bird enthusiast and the desert-oriented scientist, Birds of Southern California's Deep Canyon offers valuable insights into the birds' habitats, seasonal patterns, and roles in energy flow within the ecosystem. Whether you're curious about the avifauna of the Coachella Valley or conducting research on the dynamics of desert bird populations, this book is an indispensable resource. This title was originally published in 1983.
