Abstract:
Displays observation points as part of the Point Reyes Bird Observatory effort of mapping avian communities at the Salton Sea. The GPS points were taken in July 1999.
Purpose:
As part of a multi-disciplinary reconnaissance survey coordinated by the Salton Sea Science Subcommittee, we conducted a year-long study to document the annual phenology, distribution, abundance, and broad scale habitat  associations of birds using the Salton Sea and adjacent habitats. Here we report  the results of those surveys, interpret their relevance to the Salton Sea restoration Project EIR/EIS, and make recommendations for further research needs.
