SUMMARY:Bird Communities of the Sky Islands
DESCRIPTION:\nThis three-day-long birding workshop in partnership with Tucson Audubon S
 ociety is designed for “Southeast Arizona Birding Festival” participants lo
 oking for insight into the ecological factors shaping the distribution and 
 population dynamics of avian communities in Southeastern Arizona.  Most of 
 our time will be spent in the Chiricahua Mountains, the largest and most bi
 ologically diverse of the isolated sierras locally known as “Sky Islands.” 
  Drawing species from six North American bio-geographical regions—three wit
 h their locus in Mexico—and spanning five of C. Hart Merriam’s life zones, 
 the Chiricahuas are a living laboratory that supports most of the birds fou
 nd in the American Southwest.\nLeader: Rick Taylor (index.php?option=com_co
