Birds of the Whitewater River, Southern California : A Disturbed Environment

For the first time, a focus on the birds inhabiting and migrating along the Whitewater River as a single intact watercourse, running from the San Bernardino Mountains to the Salton Sea. The author discusses the history and evolution of the River's existence and modifications made by man over time, as well as the current birds using the waterway, with graphical representations of their relative abundances seasonally and by location along the River. Richly illustrated with photos of 134+ species and their habitats by the author.
