Kurt Leuschner - Winged Wonders of the Salton Sea

Join Kurt Leuschner, Professor of Natural Resources at College of the Desert, as he returns to the Library to present a fascinating talk.

The Salton Sea is one of the world's most important stops for birds traveling the Pacific Flyway. Tens of thousands of birds begin arriving in late September. Birds that overwinter at the Sea will depart in May, traveling as far north as Alaska. Some will remain to brave the hot summer and nest at the sea. Visiting the Salton Sea at any time of year. is a birdwatcher's delight. Follow up the talk with an all-day journey to see the Salton Sea in January and all of its wonders!
