A PhotoBlog by Jim Gain
The Sierra Nevada range of California is home to a diverse array of colorful and interesting birds. Although none of the approximately 200 bird species that breed, winter, or migrate across the Sierra Nevada are endemic only to the range, its steep elevation gradient and matching habitat diversity are the secret to its exceptional avian diversity. In each photoblog post followers will enjoy high-quality photographs while learning about the natural history and conservation status of these interesting birds.
