New Desert Bird Conservation Plan now available online!

LeConte's Thrasher by Al Schmierer

The Desert Bird Conservation Plan (BCP), a collaborative work of PRBO Conservation Science and California Partners in Flight, summarizes the latest research findings for a suite of focal bird species associated with Colorado and Mojave desert habitats.  These findings are translated into a list of specific conservation and outreach recommendations, which if implemented, should benefit many desert birds.  You can download the plan from PRBO's website to learn more about the status, conservation threats, and recommended actions of desert birds. And, your help is needed -  continue contributing your observations of desert birds to California eBird, helping us increase our knowledge of California’s desert birds!
