Sadly, this crucial stopover along the Pacific Flyway for migratory and wintering shorebirds, landbirds, and waterfowl is dangerously close to collapse from several environmental threats. This book is the first thoroughly detailed book to describe the birds of Salton Sea, more than 450 species and subspecies in all. A major contribution to our knowledge about the birds of western North America, it will also be an important tool in the struggle to save this highly endangered area. Synthesizing data from many sources, including observations from their long-term work in the area, the authors' species accounts discuss each bird's abundance, seasonal status, movement patterns, biogeographic affinities, habitat associations, and more. This valuable reference also includes general information on the region's fascinating history and biogeography, making it an unparalleled resource for the birding community, for wildlife managers, and for conservation biologists concerned with one of the most threatened ecosystems in western North America. 606 $aBirds$zCalifornia$zSalton Sea 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBirds 676 $a598/.09794/99 700 $aPatten$b Michael A$01042553 701 $aMcCaskie$b Guy$01042554 701 $aUnitt$b Philip$01042555 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455650003321 996 $aBirds of the Salton Sea$92466878 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00746nam0-2200265 --450 001 9910549599403321 005 20220318155411.0 010 $a978-88-6240-843-1 100 $a20220318d2021----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay m 001fy 200 1 $aNel silenzio$euna guida letteraria$fa cura di Valeria Laura Carozzi 210 $aMilano$cTerra Santa$d2021 215 $a286 p.$d21 cm 300 $aIn quarta di copertina: Anche in e-Book 676 $a808.8038$v23 702 1$aCarozzi,$bValeria Laura 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gREICAT$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a9910549599403321 952 $a808.8038 CAR 1$b2022/254$fFLFBC 959 $aFLFBC 996 $aNel silenzio$92800308 997 $aUNINA
