Birds of the Sierra Nevada

Ed Pandolfino and Keith Hansen take you on a virtual transect of the range from the oak savanna in the west, through serene conifer forests of the west side, up into the majestic alpine regions, and down the steep eastern escarpment to the pinyon/juniper woodlands and open steppes of the Great Basin. Along the way, you see and hear the stunning diversity of birds that make the Sierra their home. Ed and Keith talk about which birds are in decline and which are expanding and increasing. They also address some mysteries surrounding some of those species and discuss how birders can help to solve them.
