BIRD CONSERVATION + BEST PRACTICES
The Eastern Sierra is remarkable in its habitat diversity. From vast sagebrush deserts, saline lakes, and pinyon-juniper woodlands to coniferous forests, alpine meadows, glacial lakes, and the rocky tundra, our lands support extraordinary birdlife. At the Eastern Sierra Bird Alliance, we are proud to protect these lands and advocate for the birds that call them home.

IMPORTANT BIRD AREAS
In the Eastern Sierra, thirteen Important Bird Areas have been recognized—from desert basins and saline valleys to wetlands, alpine meadows, and freshwater lakes. These sites support breeding, migrating, and wintering birds, and are home to threatened, endemic, and/or habitat-specialist species.
